Enric Mas reacts to taking the Vuelta leader's red jersey after Tadej Pogacar crashed out.

“We’ll try to defend it tomorrow, but tonight we need to assimilate what happened and give Tadej all our support and hopefully he will recover soon. We decided with the team that I was not going to wear the red jersey [today], and then if I deserve it tomorrow, I will wear it.”
