Kenny Dehaes (Lotto-Belisol) won this year’s Trofeo Palma, the first race in the Mallorca Challenge, beating Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp) and Ben Swift (Team Sky) in a sprint finish.
The Trofeo Palma is normally a race dominated by sprinters, with an 11.6 kilometer circuit race held within Mallorca’s capital, passing along the port of the historical city.Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins (Team Sky) made his 2013 season debut in the race. Instead of sitting pretty in the peloton, Wiggins went on the attack to test his legs, taking the first intermediate sprint before helping chase the break of the day and working for Swift.
