Pedro's Thoughts

"There have been moments on the climb when I've felt as if time has stopped. You're pedaling like mad but every time you look up you don't seem to have advanced much at all. It's like one of those dreams where you're running but not getting anywhere... When you reach the false flat [after 6km], there are words painted on the road warning of what is to come. 'Hell starts here,' they say."

- Pedro Delgado on the Alto de L'Angliru, a monstrous climb featured in tomorrow's stage of the Vuelta
