He has a very pleasant climbing style, he looks smooth. I hope he develops as many us of hopes so he keeps the Spanish tradition going...
Edit: I hope his PCS picture gets updated tho.

Landa immune to my prophecies it seems. Still, we have a great climber on our hands.Red Rick said:The Sky Train will not last
Against the might Enric Mas
He was certainly saving energy today.Forever The Best said:Hyping this before Calar Alto.
He was in the right breakaways. He rode well all the way till the end. He helped tame the beast of Asturias.Akuryo said:Twice the most combative rider in his very first GT in his first season as a pro is not a bad start, I guess.
You guys can have your flashy attacks and all, in the meantime Ill sit alone in a corner when people suddenly realise the Soler aka Paco Mancebo v.2/Carlito v.2 bandwagon actually is the place to be!Red Rick said:Also. This will be the biggest bandwagon one day.

but I really don't see quick step as a good team to develop stage racers. I still think he should move to a team like katusha or sunweb. quickstep is too focused in classicomanos and sprinters. For me, the best example is bob jungels, I think if he dropped 2/3 kilos without losing power (increasing his w/kg), he could do top3 in the giro.Gigs_98 said:Yeah I actually think quick step is pretty much the perfect team for him at this point of his career. He'll have freedom in almost all races he'll enter while having many young teammates at a similar point of their career who will develop together with him. I can't really see a better wt team for him right now

I'm a big fan of Verona but I think Enric is way more talented. Quickstep should see this as well.perico said:portugal11 said:but I really don't see quick step as a good team to develop stage racers.

This. Last thing he needs to be doing is leading out sprinters, like they did with Verona.

Is he a better TTer normally? I'm asking cause I haven't followed him much in the past.LaFlorecita said:Not the best TT performance today, but with a good showing on the final stage he can still comfortably finish inside the top-10.
