Mosquera spins out this time. Next?

That should teach me not to comment on impressive performances, like I did here when Mosquera won on the brutal Bola del Mundo(Vuelta 2010).

He has now lost his job without getting even one ride for his 2011/12 team (CyclingNews.com). Who's next?

Nevertheless, as we start planning the course for the Tracking the Peloton project, we might as well make a note of this climb, just in case we end up near Madrid and decide to try a 34/27 combo.

Here is an amateur video of the Vuelta stage showing how hard it really is to get up this climb at the end of three weeks of racing. Even with the support of an enthusiastic spanish crowd...

Have a great weekend!
