Not in the game this Wednesday, almost 3 minutes from the masterful winner of the time trial between Cours and Belmont Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates), Enric Mas had a bad day. In addition, the Spaniard 2nd in the Vuelta 2018-2021-2022 received a 20-second penalty from the jury of commissioners. The Leader of Movistar did not “respect the obligatory distance of 25 meters with the following vehicle behind the runner”, indicates the press release issued by the organization of Dauphiné.
Enric Mas is now in 39th place overall, 3 minutes 03 behind Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) the first of the favorites overall. Like the Frenchman of the FDJ David Gaud (20th at 2m22), the Spaniard will have to rely on his qualities as a climber to regain time and continue the fight overall.
