MALLORCAN cyclist Enric Mas has signed with the Movistar Team for three seasons.

Mas, 24, who competed in this year’s Tour de France for the first time, comes from the Belgian team Deceuninck-Quick Step.

The Spaniard excelled in the French competition, where he held the white jersey as leader of the Youth classification for a while, finally finishing third in the category.

A native of Artá, Mas finished second in the Vuelta a España in 2018, which is the greatest achievement of his career to date, where he also won one of the Pyrenean stages. Mas trained in the ranks of the Contador Foundation until 2015 when he moved to the Deceuninck-Quick Step.
