Mas catches Pogacar on Vuelta stage 6, sparking descent-safety discussion
Enric Mas chased and then caught Tadej Pogačar on the Puerto de El Bartolo climb after Pogacar’s long early attack on Vuelta a España stage 6; Pogacar still won the stage and extended his lead, with UAE Team Emirates arguing Mas’s move was driven by safety on the descent’s new surface, a rare GC development that helped drop rivals while keeping the leader out of danger.
