Mas is going to be good at the Vuelta
These are training KMs for Enric. He rode less races this year in the lead up to the TdF than he ever has.

It was pretty obvious that he didn’t want another 6th place here, when the Vuelta has always suited him.

Plus he always rides himself into good form. His strength is that he recovers better than most over 2 GTs.

Someone remind me why Powless has been so powerless this Tour. Prior crash or illness?
We were at the start of stage 5 and my wife overheard him having a conversation with another fan; she said he was “the politest, nicest young man in the world.” But also that he said “I’ll be mostly looking after Ben,” so I suspect his main role this year has been to support Healy. I think if he was to pick a stage he might have a chance to do his own thing, this one wouldn’t be it.
