Enric Mas is sincere: “It gave me a fall, I lost my strength. I do not know what happened”

Enrique More (3rd overall) can start with his closest rival in the main kilometers of the final climb to Sierra of Pandera, but then can’t keep up with PRimoz Roglic Y Miguel Angel Lopez.

SO GO TO REMCO EVENPOEL

“He is very young, this is the second Grand Tour he has done and any rider like this can have difficult days”.

“I felt really good until the last stage. I let go of Primoz for a moment and then I closed the gap, but I just got to his wheel and it gave me an impressive slump, I lost power. I don’t know what came over me, but I had to loosen up because, otherwise, I wouldn’t make it to the finish line. I don’t know if I prepared myself too much, went to very high watts. You learn from every mistake”, said the Spaniard from Artà, before seeing the half-full bottle. “I’m glad because, even so, we gave the leader time. It’s a really tough climb; I thought the 15% ramps would be a thing earlier and I found them on the last stretch, when Primoz gave me a hard time. A few precious seconds passed there, but that’s cycling.”

THIS IS HOW YOU CAN MEET PRIMOZ ROGLIC

If it is true that he is, as he says, two weeks without a bike after the Tour, he will walk more, because the body, when it heals well, the form will come. He is proving to go further and tomorrow he will be a rider to watch a lot.

And, he also warned of the new heavy test that he and other runners will face in the queen stage of Sierra Nevada. “Tomorrow will be a very difficult day, twice as difficult as today. Sierra Nevada will be the ‘queen’ stage along with Guadarrama. We will see what we can do; if we have to close the starter or attack myself. Tomorrow, as I said from the beginning, we will go out to enjoy, and hopefully we will find the tickle with the other runners”.
