Challenge Ciclista Mallorca 2026 (January 28 - February 1)

[Cycling111]

Morgado sufferes from the syndrome of someone who gets too close to the sun, and he's not even in the second group.

If we're in for a year of attacks and wins from 50km out, then soon people will be clambering for more sprint stages!

 

[Tim Cahill]

Evenepoel's level will only be shown in a few weeks, these are asterisked victories as Mas has been injured and Astana took their best team to the desert.

 

[Samamba]

Tour of Algarve last year, He did good there, not a massive climb tho.

I don't take Foia serious

Evenepoel's level will only be shown in a few weeks, these are asterisked victories as Mas has been injured and Astana took their best team to the desert.

They've got Christian - the small races prince (with Del Toro being the king) - Scaroni..

Suddenly these solos aren't boring for some people 😅

Any indication that he will might the form to make this spring more interesting is going to be very welcome news. Bring on 100K solos if that's the case!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

This early attacker may still pay the price on the last climb here.

Astana were getting tired of Tudor's fake pacing.

You mean the Mas that couldn't drop junior Remco during training camps? And let's hear what Scaroni has to say about that.

Peaked too early , getting dropped on dauphine by Anton Shiffer

 

[Tim Cahill]

You mean the Mas that couldn't drop junior Remco during training camps? And let's hear what Scaroni has to say about that.

Scaroni has been abandoned by the team I'm afraid, would be up there with Remco if he had Vino and the boys to help, Champou is peaking for the French cup and The Magician seems to be riding like it's the Uruguayan championships.

But in 2025 Scaroni was defeated by Ayuso in Ardeche and Ayuso failed once again in GT

 

[Ilmaestro99]

January always gives weird performances that don't like up with the rest of the season, stop comparing and just enjoy em' man

 

[chickenlips]

Why can't he do this in the big races against Pog? He wouldn't need as many ITT km's then. He could just ride off...

 

[Tim Cahill]

In all fairness that new UAE climb might be too steep for Fat Issac, Desert Pantani Yates is injured and Vingegaard has been concentrating on his real estate business so that race might be due an asterisk too.

inb4 Morgado's 2nd place

 

[YavorD]

Let's face it, Remco is washed. Couldn't even drop a spent teen on the climb.

 

[Wvv]

Nice podium, organizers will be pleased.

 

[Berniece]

Nice win from Evenepoel, but also a bit boring. There races are more interesting with B-Tier riders, than one of the big 6 there. The gap is just too big to make it interesting

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Where are vlasov and McNulty? They would have stopped such a dominant performance today.

Why can't he do this in the big races against Pog? He wouldn't need as many ITT km's then. He could just ride off...

Simply put, he can't drop Pogacar, and Vingegaard on the climbs, and Pogacar on a road bike is very good at maintaining pace and difference in flat (last kilometers in Lombardy for example).

This year's Tour has few mountains. We'll see a false sense of equality, and I think the fans will think he'll at least beat Vingegaard, but I thing it won't happen in the mountains.
Also, with the fatigue from the days of the race, Remco is less superior to the rest than he already is in one day races.

Although the Tour has designed a route with so few climbs that people might think even Lipowitz and Ayuso could win it because there won't be any significant differences until almost the end.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Where are vlasov and McNulty? They would have stopped such a dominant performance today.

Mcnulty focusing on his top 10 at the le tour and Vlasov I haven't seen him in ages, maybe he got conscripted?

 

[Samamba]

Yeah someone get him on a plane now cause this is just dumb. i'm watching these smaller races to get away from these aliens

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Good stuff from Remco, but after two days of hard racing he will probably drop early tomorrow and focus on stages rather than the GC.

 

[Cycling111]

Morgado didn't get too badly burned by the sun after all. It has benefited him that the second group didn't continue.
