It was the general consensus of the recap people that his attack was pointless and even more so that he crashed. However, apparently Mas cannot descend AT ALL, so possible he was looking to do damage him.Yeah he’s a fantastic climber and if it was a mountain top finish I’d be all in... But it wasn’t, and he’s not a great descender… like at all. And there was what, 5 maybe 7 km of flat at the end of the course. He had zero chance to maintain a gap under those conditions. It’s just not smart racing.
Also: which is harder to pronounce, the current leaders name or his team name?
