US Pro Challenge Stage One: Popping Off the Back

One of the problems with racing in Colorado is the altitude and the lack of oxygen in the air.  I personally  have had difficulties breathing climbing outside of this very same valley back when I was a young man.  Many of the members of the peloton had come to the area two weeks ahead of the race trying to acclimate themselves to the high elevations, Team Sky was not one of the teams that took this tact.  Chris Froome and the rest of the team paid the price on the final climb of the day once the chase of the break was truly on.  This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that can be yours  by bidding in a quick three day auction on ebay.   Just follow the direct link at the end of this post to get your piece of the US Pro Challenge.
