"I am very happy with the team. We made it a beautiful Vuelta" - Enric Mas content with second position in GC
Cycling
Enric Mas finished the twentieth stage in fifth place. Having only one more stage left to race, he has accepted defeat from Remco Evenepoel and is content with second place overall.
"We made a beautiful Vuelta,” Mas said with a smile on his face. He continues, "It was particularly tough, it was a long day. We have to be happy. We tried, but we couldn't gain much time in the mountain stages. We still have to train for the time trial. In the mountain stages, I didn't lose much time." Mas told Eurosport.
The second position in the tour is not a new achievement for him. Both in the 2018 edition and last year, he finished second in GC. He is not disappointed with being second for the third time on opposite he feels quite happy. "I am very happy with the team. We made it a beautiful Vuelta. It's now the third time I've been second in the Vuelta, but this is a special one for me because I've had a difficult period. I want to thank everyone who believed in me, especially the team,” concluded Mas.

- great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026

- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026

- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
- the time for a GC rider to retire is when they cannot win stages, or have a significant level drop like from winner/podium into top 5/10 consistently. Roglic is still competitive and Froome raced even though he became pack fodder.abstractengineer10-11-2026
- He should be in a different team. It was detrimental. For them it does not matter if he does not develop. He should have gone to a team where they need him to succeed.abstractengineer10-11-2026

🗣️ @EnricMasNicolau: "Teníamos muchas ganas de atacar, pero he tenido un mal día. Hay que seguir mejorando y aprender de los errores. Creo que es una @lavuelta bastante positiva, tras el momento personal duro del Tour. Gracias a la familia, al equipo y a todos los que me apoyan".
