"I have already drawn a conclusion after today" - Enric Mas planning on how to take red from Remco Evenepoel

Enric Mas has tested Remco Evenepoel in the first summit finish of the second week at the Vuelta a Espana, however was unable to take results from it as the Belgian remained rock solid in the race lead.
“Everyone who has held up in our group is competing for the podium. Those are all riders to watch out for. The final was still quite tough, but in the end I didn't lose any time," Mas said in a post-race interview. With José Joaquín Rojas and Nelson Oliveira in the day's breakaway, Enric Mas had riders to bridge across to in the final climb, and those are the tactics Movistar Team opted for in the ascent to Peñas Blancas where Mas put in two moves with around five kilometers to go. They didn't have the desired outcome however as Remco Evenepoel readily followed both, but heading into the finish the Belgian couldn't distance Mas aswell.
“He is doing very well for the time being. I spoke to him briefly about his crash and he told me that nothing was wrong," the Spaniard said about Evenepoel. "He had slipped away, nothing more. But he hasn't shown any weaknesses yet, even though this climb wasn't too hard
Mas kept his 3:03-minute disadvantage to Evenepoel, but will have more stages later this week where he will be able to test the Belgian. “I have already drawn a conclusion after today, but we will keep it to ourselves," he concluded.

- Rules are very different from country to country and evolve with time. At one point I couldn’t even give my son my nationality because being unmarried, you’d have to register at least 3 months before the birth, a time when many people know neither the name or sex, and actually, no-one even knows if the birth will take place. In England there is now a kid with the wrong sex on his birth certificate as mistakes (even if by an administration) can no longer be corrected. I just had a 3rd child, we discovered a bump on his head at 2 weeks that wasn’t there 24h before, we ended up at the police accused of child abuse and about to have him taken from us due to staff incompetence and inexperience. Luckily a pediatric neurosurgeon has now confirmed this is not so uncommon after natural childbirth without instruments but most medical employees aren’t informed of it so automatically accuse parents of negligence/lying whatever. We discovered an association that already helped over 1000 wrongly accused couples (just those who found the association in just one country). I almost got arrested in one country for forgery after trying to convert my driver’s license as they thought I must have tampered the dates to get it aged 17 which isn’t possible for them. I can’t access half official services because the online forms are not set up to accept foreign phone number as data but a number is obligatory. That’s just a quick start, anyone who’s ever had to move internationally will confirm, there’s very little that’s not done differently elsewhere than “at home” The world is full of bureaucratic shit destroying society.Mistermaumau23-11-2024

- you was so exhausted, ok, then why to ride third-class races immediately after the Tour? do a mix of rest, relax and soft-medium training in your family environment and after the birth of your baby, a month of full, intense training for the world championship! prestigious and suitable race for you (even MAS did well). Sometimes I don't understand Jonas's calendar.
maria2024202423-11-2024 - it’s just a brutal sport, and if you don’t believe in yourself — especially when you’re young — then what’s the point. i get it. that said, the voice of ultra competitive Mads Pedersen after last year’s Roubaix does echo in one’s ears. “mathieu was LEAGUES better than the rest of us… Yeah, i’d like to BELIEVE i could win this race one day, but after what mathieu just did i think that might be difficult…” and that’s MADS PEDERSEN. still, what can pithie do BUT believe?OCexile23-11-2024
