Remco Evenepoel stormed to victory for the second consecutive day on Friday, winning the Trofeo Selva – Santuari de Lluc at Challenge Mallorca.
The Belgian won on Thursday at the Trofeo Ses Salines team time trial with his new Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe team, and won again in his first road race for the squad.
Evenepoel attacked on the Coll de Sóller with around 56km to go, and ended up leaving everyone else behind. He took Adrìa Pericas (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Pablo Castrillo (Movistar) with him initially, but then dropped the pair on the descent, having sped past the day’s break.
“It’s the new cycling,” Scaroni said post-race. “When Tadej [Pogačar] or Remco are in the race, you never expect where they can attack. When he attacked, I was a bit behind, I tried to reply, I was really close to close the gap, but he was too strong for me.”
