Enric Mas expressed calmness and conveyed the desire to enjoy the Vuelta lead, now taking command of the competition after recent events.
The Spaniard "inherited" the red jersey after Tadej Pogacar's withdrawal, who abandoned the race as a result of a fall during the competition.
The transition of leadership to Enric Mas occurred unexpectedly, given that Pogacar was one of the main favorites for overall victory at the Vuelta.
The Spanish rider showed himself prepared to embrace this new challenge, maintaining a positive attitude and focused on enjoying the opportunity that presented itself to him.
