The Teide astronomy connection is pretty wild, I had no idea the Canaries had that kind of research infrastructure. Makes sense though with those altitudes and clear skies. Kind of curious if those professional cycling teams ever coordinate with the observatory folks, both groups basically chasing optimal atmospheric conditions in their own weird way.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment. I guess I am making the point that there is so much more going on than meets the eye and I find it rather fascinating. Good parallel with the Cyclists and the astronomers, throw in the histrorians and the hanggliders ... fascinating place.
