Xacobeo-Galicia team leader Ezequiel Mosquera has revealed that he is being troubled by regular pain from the collar-bone that was broken twice in the same place last season. Although the Spaniard had an operation on the damaged bone in January, it has not set well. “I’m a bit concerned by it because it will need to be operated on again, although I will of course be waiting until the end of the season before having this done,” Mosquera told the La Opinión A Coruña newspaper.
