Enric Mas must be ambitious and show that he wants to win La Vuelta

This Monday’s stage was formed as we progressed to the MD, a sprint outcome, with the difference that the red gave wings to the Belgian Van Aert to achieve success.

We had the third and final stage of La Vuelta in Portugal a getaway for four riders, with modest teams. Behind, the Van Aert Visma Equipment He worked well, which for me is already a declaration of intentions, and in the sprint the Belgian won and increased his lead in the general standings.

The race in Portugal is over and tomorrow comes La Vuelta in Spain. Total change of scenery. Tomorrow the favorites will appear, during the stage stage and at the end of it on the last difficult climb. We will see who is bad, who is average and who is bad among the favorites.

The favorites have to appear in tomorrow’s stage, which for me is key and the favorite teams should appear today. This is the first important day of Kuss, Roglic, Mas or Almeidawatch out for Portuguese, I really like it. They will try to win the stage and gain time on each other. Tomorrow we will have a change of leader at La Vuelta.

I expect a lot from Enrique Mas. After what he did at the Tour and listening to his statements, Mas needs to show that he wants to win La Vuelta. Don’t finish fourth or fifth, even if this ambition can cause you to miss the podium. He had to play it. This is what the fans are asking of him and his team, Movistar teamhe must bring out his fighting character and become a serious candidate for final victory.

I do not want to end this opinion without highlighting for now the role of moderate teams, of Kern Pharma and of Euskaltel-Euskadi. They took advantage of their moment in these last two stages, which is what they should do, making the most of the route and the circumstances of the race, but tomorrow the favorite teams will appear.
