The Mallorca Cycling Challenge will have a women's modality for the first time in 2024″>Trofeo Serra de Tramuntana on Mallorca was up to Tim Wellens for the 4th time already.
Our compatriot knows the course and the finish inside out and so knew how to handle it cunningly in the last hectometres.
Alejandro Valverde was the kid on the bill. The 41-year-old veteran protested briefly with a hand gesture and also expressed his disappointment in a response to the Movistar site.
“Tim apologized to me. He said ‘sorry’ when he came on the podium,” Valverde said.
According to the Spaniard, Wellens went for a walk with him: Wellens made a change of course from right to left, which imprisoned Valverde against the nadar gates.
“When he saw that I was going to overtake him, he went a little more to the left and I had to stop pedaling.”
The jury reviewed the footage and did not change the result. “Then I have nothing to talk about. I congratulate Tim”, Valverde accepted.
