The Spanish Enric Mas, third of the seventeenth stage of the Tour de France, he seemed disappointed that he was not able to win, but admitted that he was satisfied “like a boy“.
“We were helpful in the escapes, and Alex (Aramburu) and I got in. It’s a shame he couldn’t finish,” said the Movistar cyclist.
The cyclist, who arrived with ambitions for the general classification, but after two very poor first weeks did not achieve them, claimed to have regained a certain taste for cycling in more at 120 kilometers he was missing.
“I’m the same with strength and legs. But today I feel better. We hope these two bad weeks have an explanationbecause they work so hard for the team and for me,” he said.
“Now we saw a bit of Enric before, but we didn’t win. It was a very difficult day, but I enjoyed it. Other days I had a bad time, but today I enjoyed like a little child” commented the Spaniard.
Already with visions for tomorrow, the cyclist commented on how he is looking forward to Thursday: “Tomorrow should be a day like todaywith escape as the main character, before the two worse days, of pure mountain, Friday and Saturday. “To continue suffering and be happy”.
Mas found he lacked the strength to respond to the attacks of Simon Yates and Richard Carapaz on the climb to Noyer, which caused him to escape the stage victory.
