Movistar Team
Strengths:
Enric Mas is a Spanish professional cyclist who currently races for Team Movistar.
A highly rated Grand Tour rider, Mas has established himself as one of Spain’s most successful stage racers in recent years with three second places in the Vuelta a España, and one fifth-placed finish in the Tour de France. Mas moved into the WorldTour in 2017 with Quick-Step Floors after winning a series of U23-level stage races the previous season. Mas had a steady debut season in the WorldTour but he had a breakthrough the following year with second overall and a stage win at the Vuelta a España. His stage racing was consistent but not prolific in 2019 but in 2020 he finished fifth in both the rescheduled Tour de France and Vuelta a España.
Mas doubled down on his GC stature in 2021, taking sixth in the Tour de France and second in the Vuelta a España. His run of form in three-week racing took a hit in 2022 when he was forced out of the Tour de France due to COVID-19 but he returned strongly in the second half of the year to finish second in the Vuelta a España for a third time. He also won the Giro dell'Emilia and finished second in Il Lombardia.
Mas' 2023 campaign has seen the Spaniard suffer more misfortune, with his Tour de France curtailed on stage 1 in a nasty crash. Prior to his unexpected abandon at the Tour, Mas had racked up top-10 finishes in the Ruta del Sol, Tirreno-Adriatico and Itzulia Basque Country. Mas was able to return from his injuries in time for the Vuelta a España where he had a solid, if not spectacular, run to sixth overall in Madrid.
Mas has a contract with Movistar through to the end of 2025.
