Enric Mas (Movistar) He admitted after the final stage that this Sunday’s final time trial in Madrid was his “worst day at the Vuelta” in Spain, and that’s why he missed out on second place overall from the Australian. Ben O’Connor, that the weather is better.
“It was my worst day in the Vuelta. I didn’t have a good feeling or energy and we had to settle for third place,” the Spaniard assumed.
For Mas, O’Connor’s 9 seconds were “very little” and he “felt he could make it up”, but “from the start” the time trial “was complicated” and he “crossed” . “And I paid for it,” he lamented.
“I came for victory, but this Vuelta has the biggest inequality and I achieved another podium. And there are four,” he added, happy that, except for this last stage, he had ” good feeling” during a whole race where he “enjoyed the most in Ancares” and where he “suffered the most was in Lagos” of Covadonga.
But he hopes for “a good end of the season” and for him to “call” Pascual Momparler, the national coach, to compete in the online test on September 29 of the World Cup in Zurich (Switzerland).
For that race, on a very difficult course, Mas saw “a good group” of runners in the Spanish team. “Like when he won “The Bullet (Alejandro Valverde)” in 2018 at Innsbruck (Austria), he remembered.
In addition to the World Cup, Mas will compete in the “Italian classics” at the end of the season.
