Giro-Tour double likely the plan for Enric Mas in 2025

Enric Mas is finally back to his best after a couple of difficult years. His podium in the recent Vuelta a España and his offensive attitude attacking Primoz Roglic on numerous occasions have made him leave the race with a smile on his face, even though his goal was the final victory in Madrid. In 2025 he will tackle new goals.

Despite the achievement, it seems that Movistar Team had in mind and change of plans in the script of the Mallorcan for the next season and this change of plans today seems to go ahead as reported by Marca.

Thus, he would "copy" what Tadej Pogacar has done this season, in 2025 he would not race the Vuelta and would try for the first time in his career the double Giro d'Italia - Tour de France.

At 29 years old and a pro since 2016, Enric has never raced the Giro. He has done the Tour-Vuelta doublet non-stop since 2020 and previously raced twice the Spanish race and once the French race.

The truth is that the Giro d'Italia can be a race that adapts very well to the characteristics of Enric Mas, who has always been more of a pure climber than an explosive rider - although on some occasions he can thrive in short climbs, as seen in this Vuelta.

The Giro tends to have longer mountain stages and more constant climbs than the explosive ones that are often found in the Vuelta. In addition, in recent years participation in the Italian race has been lower than in the Vuelta, where many times great riders who want to save their seasons sign up. It's a good idea for the Mallorcan to look for a twist to his season. Currently, the 29-year old is aiming for the World Championships and Il Lombardia could also be in his goals.
