Katusha made it two in a row Monday at the Mallorca Challenge, with Robbie McEwen darting clear for his first European win in 2009.
A day after setting up Katusha teammate Gert Steegmans for the victory, McEwen out-kicked compatriot Graeme Brown (Rabobank) in the 176.5km stage, which started and finished in Cala Millor.
“It was a dangerous and difficult sprint, because the last meters went down,” he said. “I want to thank my teammates because they did a very good job. Steegmans launched me in the last meters and in the last corner, about 500 meters to go, he was very fast so I decided to start just after the corner, because I knew that it was dangerous and the way was down. I did a very long sprint.”
The mostly flat course featured several breakaway attempts. At just 7km, four riders peeled away and stayed clear until they were reeled in at 70km.
Four more riders nudged off the front at 85km before Javier Ramírez Abeja (Andalucía-CajaSur) forged ahead alone. The 31-year-old rejoined the pro ranks this year for his fifth season after being forced to race amateur in 2008.
Ramírez never opened up more than two minutes on the pack as Katusha, Liquigas and Caisse d’Epargne kept him on a tight leash in the closing kilometers. He was caught with just under 10km to go set up the mass sprint.
Caisse d’Epargne tried to set up José Rojas for the victory, but McEwen took the top honors as well as the leader’s jersey.
The Mallorca Challenge continues Tuesday with the 182.6km third stage starting and finishing in Inca. The stage features two second-category and one third-category climbs in the bumpy stage over the Tramutana range.
