The race:

The Challenge Illes Balears is a series of 1.1 races held in late January or early February on the Balearic Islands in the western Mediterranean Sea. While each race is an independent 1.1 ranked competition, there was a usually a General Classification for an overall winner as well and those are the results on the table below. The first edition of the modern Challenge Illes Balears was held in 1992 with 10 Spanish teams attending. In 1995 foreign teams (Telekom, TVM and Porcelanas Santa Clara-Master) competed for the first time.

Currently the competition is a series of independent races with no overall winner. You can click on the year to see the results of each race.

Prior to 1992 there were various races held on the Balearic lslands called the Trofeo Mallorca, GP Isla de Mallorca and Tour (Volta) of Mallorca dating back to 1913.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2021 edition, originally scheduled to run in late January was postponed until mid-May.
