The Mallorcan third trophy this time offers the opportunity for climbers to win.
The Italian of Cannondale, Damiano Caruso, is the first to attack.
But the breakaway will be composed of Isaychev Vladimir (Katusha), Rudy Molard (Cofidis), Karol Domagalski (Caja Rujal) and Andrea Di Corrado (Bardiani).
Lampre control the peloton approaching the first pass, one of his Battala.
This image reflects very well the race : a breakaway, attacks across the bottom of the climbs and Lampre control the peloton.
In the climb of the Col de Soller, the break was caught and the peloton exploded and has only 45 units. Lampre is the most represented, with seven runners (Manuele Mori was dropped).
José Herrada, accompanied by Romain Hardy and Dominik Nerz attacks ! But the group behind them tries to return back.
Here are the nine riders who will fight for victory! In order : Romain Hardy, José Serpa, Arkaitz Duran Aroca, Emanuele Sella, José Herrada, Dominik Nerz, Robigzon Leandro Oyola, Freddy Orlando Piamonte et Michele Scarponi.
Romain Hardy wins ! He showed his opponents that no one could stop him today. José Serpa went to get a nice 3rd place.
