In Transiberica or TCR? I have a selfie with an Italian rider who was doing NCT or NC4000 in a previous TCR. We were both in northern Italy I think. It was pretty cool.
Should I fit a 42T for Pico del Veleta? googles climb profile

Well I meant TransIberica but yeah both NCT and TCR climb the Galibier and depending on your route might cross paths somewhere east of that too in the alps. Though you probably met a NC4000 rider considering the time you were there.
Pivo veleta had a ridiculous wind on top of the actual climbing and at about 3400m the air is thin too.

You'll cross paths with the Northcape-tarifa route too, so that's worth following, the first riders are in Spain right now. You'll both climb pico del veleta, it's a fucking monster.
