Expert Raboň: Only the time trial makes Mas nervous, while Movistar may be lost in admiration

Cycling fans have spent the past week adjusting to the reality that Tadej Pogačar will not win this year’s Vuelta. He abandoned during the eighth stage, but the Spanish Grand Tour has continued to produce major storylines.

The most striking so far has been Enric Mas’s commanding showing in the red jersey. Former professional cyclist František Raboň examines Mas’s form and other developments in his iDNES Premium column.

Raboň argues that only the time trial appears to make Mas nervous, while Movistar may have little left to do but marvel at his performance.
