“Enric Mas started La Vuelta with more enthusiasm and better form than the Tour”

THE STAGE

It was highly contested, the terrain changed and it was run more like it was run in Spain. It was quite a tough day, arguably, with an equal breakaway and a superbly contested finish, where Roglic easily prevailed

THE FAVORITES

Roglic showed that he came to La Vuelta with great enthusiasm and gave a second shot at the classification. He showed the joy he feels in the race in Spain and showed that fortunately he has nothing left of the Tour’s collapse. We have to highlight the third place of Enric Mas. Fortunately, it seems the Vuelta is starting with more enthusiasm than the Tour and in better shape

THE SPANISH

But it was good, he finished 3rd in the stage and deputed the victory to Roglic. Let’s hope it continues in this form throughout La Vuelta. The rest of the Spaniards, including Valverde and Landa and co, all came in within seven seconds. Therefore, a good performance by the Spaniards, especially by Mas, and Joan Bou, who lead the classification of the mountain

THE EXPECTATIONS

Tomorrow is a stage where the favorites have to show their faces. It is very difficult and there will definitely be a battle between those who want the breakaway to come and the leader’s group

WEDNESDAY STAGE

At 182 km, with five scoring ports, two in the second and three in the third. It will be quite a contested stage, and the heat and the five days of racing will start to be felt by some riders, with the leader having to defend the lead.
