‘Every day there is less to lose’ – Enric Mas and Mikel Landa take race to Primož Roglič at Vuelta a España

Enric Mas couldn’t shake off Primož Roglič on stage 16 of the Vuelta a España, but the Spaniard appears to be warming to the idea of winning this race in Madrid next Sunday after an aggressive display at Lagos de Covadonga.

Mas’ attack 7km from the mist-shrouded summit placed red jersey Ben O’Connor in difficulty, and he kicked again a mile or so later with a move that only Roglič, Richard Carapaz and David Gaudu could follow.
