"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.

- Just making the note that it’s actually closer to 120 because most of it is consumed in the first 4 hrs, not evenly across 5 hrs up until the finish.crharnishphd04-12-2025

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
