Enric Mas became Aitana's superstar after a day that represented a harsh blow to Tadej Pogacar. Mas's victory or good result on Aitana's mountain was described as a gift and an act of justice for the Spanish rider.
Aitana is presented as the last mountain in Spain that poet Rafael Alberti saw from the plane that took him into exile. For this reason, Alberti gave the mountain's name to his daughter.
The article suggests that this race transcended the Vuelta a España itself, becoming a significant moment in Enric Mas's career, as he finally achieved the recognition expected of him.
