Four-time Vuelta a España podium finisher Enric Mas has said that he currently has no idea when he will return to racing after injuring his leg in the Tour de France, with the Movistar leader not even ruling out a delayed start to 2026.

Mas crashed during the stage to Mûr-de-Bretagne, in the same mass fall close to the final climb that involved João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), Eddie Dunbar (Jayco-AlUla), and Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious), among others.
