"I broke completely, the finish was really extremely tough" - Mixed emotions for Enric Mas following brutal stage 6 at La Vuelta

Losing time to some rivals, gaining on some others, the 2023 Vuelta a Espana's stage 6 has left Movistar Team's leader Enric Mas with some mixed emotions.
"With eight hundred meters to go I broke completely, the finish was really extremely tough," the Spaniard told EFE in a post-stage interview. After initially being the only rider to follow Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard, Mas eventually fell away with the likes of Juan Ayuso, Joao Almeida and Cian Uijtdebroeks all overtaking him before the line.
Now 10th in the general classification, Mas actually closed the gap on last year's Vuelta a Espana winner, Remco Evenepoel, now just 3 seconds behind the Belgian. "In the end the differences don't matter much, I don't think it's a bad result," Mas concludes.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
