When the bull is tired and out of breath, he is approached by picadors, who drive lances into his back and neck muscles, twisting and gouging to ensure a significant amount of blood loss, and impairing the bull's ability to lift his head.
Cando o touro está canso e sen folgos, é rodeado polos picadores que cravan lanzas nas súas costas e nos músculos do pescozo, e fano virar para aumentar a perda de sangue, impedindo o touro erguer a testa.
