Matteo Pelucchi wins Trofeo Playa de Palma

The Race: It was a wet and cold day on the Balearic Islands, but that didn't keep the day from being aggressive and hard fought.

A hopeful trio (Illart Zuazubiskar, Dario Hernandez and Unai Intziarte) escaped early in the race, but after building a lead of five minutes, were captured by the field with about 40 kilometers to go.

With the final kilometers having a flat profile, the sprinters' teams worked to keep things together. Big André Greipel went for the win, but tucked in on his wheel was Matteo Pelucchi, who came around him at the end to win the race.

This was Pelucchi's second victory in this year's Challenge. Pelucchi won the first stage as well.

Full Results: 40.977 km/hr average speed. Race story, etc coming...

Saturday, January 31: Trofeo Sierra de Tramuntana-Valldemosa-Deia, 165.7 km

Race map and profile |

The Race: After coming in second the day before, Alejandro Valverde got it right this time and won the stage. He was part of a big move that escaped a quarter of the way through the race. The peloton (mostly led by Sky), was in no mood to let the 26 riders ride away and kept them on a short leash, generally keeping the break's lead to under two minutes.

Valverde had no intention of finishing the race in a big group. With less than 60 kilometers remaining he jumped away from the break. A couple of riders tried to stay with him, but soon Valverde was alone.

The Spaniard kept and then grew his lead, crossing the finish line nearly a minute and a half ahead of his nearest chaser, Tim Wellens.

Rory Sutherland of the the Movistar squad (he rode for Saxo-Tinkoff last year) fell early in the stage, breaking his left collarbone. He'll be examined Sunday to see if he needs surgery,

Complete results:

36.221 km average speed. 173 starters, 56 classified finishers.

Friday, January 30: Trofeo Andratx - Mirador d'Es Colomer (formerly Trofeo Alcudia-Pltja de Muro), 149 km

Race map and profile |

Stephen Cummings wins the stage

The Race: A group of ten riders that included André Greipel rolled off the front while the stage was still very young. Several riders in the break tried escaping. Even sprinter Greipel tried his luck, attacking late in the stage, but none of the efforts succeeded. With just a couple of kilometers remaining, all the escapees had been caught by the peloton.

On the final ascent, the Mirador d'Es Colomer, both Stephen Cummings and Alejandro Valverde escaped, with Cummings taking the stage.

A look at the results below will show that the first forty riders came in either individually or in very small groups, showing the difficulty of the day's finish.

Complete Results:

The stage was raced at an average speed of 37.801 km/hr

Matteo Pelucchi wins Trofeo Santanyí

The Race: It's late January, time for racing in Europe to begin. With only fourth-category climbs to challenge the racers' legs, this was going to be a race for the sprinters. A pair of riders (Damien Garcia and Alex Kirsch) left the peloton early in the stage, and though they had a lead of more than a nine minutes at one point, they were doomed. Garcia was rounded up earlier and Kirsch was absorbed with 20 kilometers remaining.

From there, the sprinters' teams kept things together for the big rush to the line, where IAM Cycling's Matteo Pelucchi triumphed.

Results: 40.827 km/hr average speed for the stage
