Prenderà il via domani il 22° Challenge Mallorca (3-6 febbraio 2013), una manifestazione che prevede quattro distinte prove: Trofeo Palma, Trofeo Campos-Santanyí-Ses Salines, Trofeo Serra de Tramuntana, Deià-Lluc, Trofeo Alcúdia-Can Picafort-Playa de Muro.
Si inizia con il Trofeo Palma, corsa dedicata alle ruote veloci (un circuito che misura 11,6 km da ripetere 10 volte). Lo scorso anno il vincitore fu Andy Fenn (Omega Pharma-Quick Step). Le formazioni possono variare per ogni prova, in quanto ogni squadra ha portato sull’isola spagnola diversi atleti e non vi è una classifica complessiva.
Tra i nomi più rappresentativi impegnati a Mallorca segnaliamo Bradley Wiggins (Sky Procycling), Alejandro Valverde (Team Movistar), Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-Quick Step), André Greipel (Lotto-Belisol), Tyler Farrar (Garmin-Sharp), Joaquim Rodriguez (Team Katusha), Damiano Cunego e Filippo Pozzato (Lampre-Merida).
