Ezequiel "Eze" Mosquera

Bare in mind though that he has been a star for some time now, and yet no one has picked him up.

Yeah I dont think he will leave but if he will go anywhere I doubt it would be Movistar because they have about 5 leaders already

was thinking the same, but Mosquera will probably want a good team for the Vuelta rather than be forced to ride the tour.

On the other hand, he's 35 and he might like the idea of riding the Tour at least once.

Maybe he could base his season on the Spanish races where he has been so succesfull and culminating with another go at the Vuelta, Perhaps one or two French races and Ardennes also but he can avoid the Tour. Depends how he sees where his career is going.

It would be a shame to see such a class rider turn into a minion, dogsbody or whatever.

Would just like to make the point that probably no one came out as well in the Vuelta as Xacebo Galicia. Sure Liquigas won. But Xacebo are a Continental team. They had a guy in the mountains classification early and then Eze took over for the second half. The close nature of the battle and the fact that he was the spaniard probably helped them as well. And winning the big stage, the saturday afternoon main event cant have hurt either.

I think every penny the sponsors invested into this squad was worth it, just for this Vuelta.
