Decisive attack in the last hundred meters

Iuri Leitao (Caja Rural) wins the Trofeo Palma, a 149.9km race of the Challenge Mallorca.

Lipowitz attempts the great feat by attacking with Lange at 112 km from the finish line and then remaining alone at -66 km. The German's adventure ends with just under 15 km to go, thanks to the work of the sprinters' teams.

When everything seemed set for a bunch sprint, here comes the surprise attack by Leitao in the last hundred meters: the Portuguese resists the return of the sprinters and wins by a few centimeters, ahead of Aniolkowski and Blikra .
