Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe reaped a trifecta of immediate benefits in the debut of their new team leader, Remco Evenepoel. Across a collection of one-day events at Challenge Mallorca, the Belgian has gone three for three.
“Three victories in three days, 100% success. That’s a good year,” Evenepoel told Eurosport after his win at Trofeo Andratx-Pollença on Saturday.
“We managed to win again and also put Maxim [Van Gils] on the podium. Finishing first and third for our third victory this week is a really great way to end the Mallorca Challenge. It’s a big motivational boost,” he added in a team statement.
“’ll already be back racing again on Wednesday, and it’s always good to start the season with some early wins.”
For a second year, strong winds impacted Trofeo Andratx-Pollença, with last year’s race cancelled due to weather conditions. This year, the start of the race was delayed and the route shortened by 26km for a total of 121km.
