The cyclist phobia in Girona is not to be taken lightly

Expecting at this point that Enric Mas will change is unrealistic

When, in the run-up to the key days of the Tour de Romandie, we commented that it could be a good option for Enric Mas to take that small step, we did so convinced that the circumstances were met.

A career of your liking, with not very long times, more accessible rivals and a season that to date had passed placidly.

We were wrong, and the worst thing is that we deludedly believed that change could be a reality.

Enric Mas has concluded the Tour de Romandie like so many other races, forming part of the landscape, although irrelevant.

It is no longer a matter of power or not, because surely your legs hurt like everyone else, it is a matter of attitude, of way of doing things, of reserving and reserving for I don’t know what.

Enric Mas, like Movistar, He continues running as if he were the great favorite in every race he attends..

He will be very confident in his options, which is very good, but reality is stubborn.

If Juan Ayuso, for example, has been there when the greatest have failed, Enric Mas has not done the same.

He is among the best, when the peloton retreats, he is still there, but nothing.

In Romandía he welded himself to Juan Ayuso’s wheel until he gave way and it was seen that he was not going to tow him to those in front.

Then he reacted, but he didn’t have enough to catch Carlos.

If the times are supposed to harm him, as we see,Why do you want mountain stages if you never propose?

The Tour is far away, it is true, but in this cycling, the favorites for the Tour go all out in all the races.

Last year, Enric Mas expressed his intention to go for more things than the Tour and the Vuelta.

He came from a disastrous season of falls in Tirreno, Ituzlia and Dauphiné, but that change was short-lived, Vuelta Andalucía, against Pogacar, the Tirreno that Roglic wins and… little else.

Then came the big events and abandonment in the Tour, due to bad fortune, but at the first opportunity, and in the Vuelta very far from the Jumbo Visma.

That last year, those behind, at least he saved them with a podium in the Vuelta, because in the Tour things don’t work out.

However Enric continues to insist and his team continues to support him in an endeavor that seems like a chimera to me.

Right now he has five or six cyclists ahead of him.

As time passes, the years fall on him and at the same time his team sees how other blocks eat his toast.

It’s Groundhog Day, and we’re no longer talking about pressure or leg pain, as he likes to remember so much, we’re talking about attitude, the one that is conspicuous by its absence.
