Enric Mas Nicolau (Catalan: [ənˈrik mas nikoˈlaw]) (born 7 January 1995) is a Spanish racing cyclist who rides for UCI WorldTeam Movistar Team. Mas is primarily a climber and general classification contender. He has found the most success at the Vuelta a España, where he won a stage in 2018, has finished second overall 3 times, and twice won the young riders classification. Mas's achievements also include winning the 2019 Tour of Guangxi, a stage win at the Tour of the Basque Country, and a victory at the one-day classic Giro dell'Emilia.
Mas was born in Artà, a small town of about 7,500 people, which is the administrative seat of Llevant, on the island of Majorca, one of the Balearic Islands of Spain.[citation needed]
On 19 July 2016, UCI World Tour team Quick-Step Floors announced the signing of Mas for 2017 season. The 2017 season became the first season for Mas in the World Tour. His best result came at the Vuelta a Burgos, where he finished 2nd on the final stage and therefore finished 2nd overall. He was named in the startlist for the 2017 Vuelta a España. He won the Combativity Award on stages 6 and 20 at the Vuelta a España; on the penultimate stage to Angliru, Mas was in the breakaway and helped Alberto Contador win the stage.
The 2018 season was Enric Mas's second on the World Tour, and his first top 10 result came at the Tour of the Basque Country. He won the final stage to Arrate, which was his first professional victory. He moved up to 6th place in the general classification after the last stage, which meant he got his first ever top 10 world tour stage race finish; he also won the young rider classification. He continued his form, 2 months later when he placed 4th overall at the Tour de Suisse, and won the Young rider classification. He also managed to finish 2nd on stage 5 behind Diego Ulissi.
At the Vuelta a España, Mas was outside top 10 before the last two stages of the second week. He finished 7th on the Stage to Las Praeres, and moved up to 8th place. On the following Stage to the Lakes of Covadonga, he finished 6th and moved up to 6th place. On the Time trial he once again showed he had great form when he finished 6th. He moved up another place in the general classification. The race visited a new climb Balcón de Bizkaia on Stage 17. Mas was the strongest of the General classification contenders, and moved up to 3rd position overall. However he dropped to 4th place on Stage 19 which visited Naturlandia, Andorra. At the start of Stage 20, the gap between him and the 3rd placed rider Steven Kruijswijk was only 17 seconds. He attacked on the final climb together with Miguel Ángel López and Simon Yates. Mas rode together to the finish line with Lopez and outsprinted him, to take his first stage victory in a Grand Tour. With his performance on stage 20, Mas moved from 4th to 2nd place overall in the Vuelta, finishing on the podium in just his second Grand Tour.
Mas earned top 10 places in both the 2019 Volta a Catalunya as well as the 2019 Tour de Suisse. In July 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Tour de France. He finished the race in 22nd place overall.
During the 2020 season he earned top 5 finishes in both the Tour and the Vuelta and won his second young rider competition in the latter. During that Vuelta he assisted Primož Roglič in securing his second title through the circumstances of the race situation. Richard Carapaz dropped Roglič on the final climb of the final mountain stage but Roglič was able to limit his losses by getting on the wheel of Mas and following him up the climb. Mas was fighting to gain time over Dan Martin and jump into 4th place in the overall standings.
Mas rode in the 2021 Tour de France, which was marred by crashes and bad weather early in the race. He finished in 6th place overall, the highest placed rider on Movistar Team.
