ANALYSIS: Movistar Team's "Enric Mas dependence" in numbers - Almost 20% of total points haul came from the Spaniard

Enric Mas' 2024 season will come to an end at Il Lombardia next weekend. The Movistar Team leader will battle for the last time against Tadej Pogacar and co in search of an outstanding result in the last monument of the year, which would round off another solid campaign for the Spaniard, something our colleagues at Ciclismoaldia have dived into.

Although Mas came into the middle of the season with a lot of criticism for his performance in the Tour de Suisse and the first week of the Tour de France, the 29-year-old managed to pull himself together strongly. Mas finished the Tour de France in good form as a stage-hunter, travelled to the Vuelta a Espana with great confidence and closed the race with a podium in the general classification, staying in the fight for victory until almost the end. Then, rounding off with an 8th place in the World Championship, Mas is now in Italy and looking for the cherry on top, but undoubtedly his 2024 has been, by far, the highlight of Movistar Team.

Enric Mas has scored (with Il Lombardia still to come) 2,491 points in 2024. This represents 18.1% of the total of the team's tally for the whole year! A real madness that measures the importance of the Balearic rider in the squad. But the data, provided by StatsOnCycling, does not stop there.

The Spaniard is also the 7th rider in the entire peloton with the highest percentage of his team's points in relation to the total. There are only 6 riders with a greater impact for the squad they ride for than Mas, and they are the following:
