Enric Mas Rising Star

[perico]

I don't remember that, but knowing how crash prone Mas is, that's not really surprising to me. It doesn't exactly speak in favor of Mas in my book, though.

Tirreno Adriatico and Basque Country in 2022 off the top of my head. I don’t consider it a major race but he was the 2nd strongest to Pogacar last year at in the first race of the year (name slipped me) but flatted and ended up 5th.

Can’t remember the 3rd he crashed out in but I don’t doubt it.

He crashed also in Dauphiné '22, the day Verona won. Mas finished the stage but DNS the day after.

It's the Tour and Vuelta for Mas - well good luck to him, but I can not see him getting better then about a 6th spot on GC. If Nairoman does the Tour too, then it might help but it might also lead to more leadership problems.

Wait, Mas actually wanted to do the Giro d'Italia and Movistar insists on failure at the Tour de France instead!?
