Trofeo Palmanova - Calvia - Cat. 1.4Spain, February 10, 2000Cabello gains second challengeFrancesco Cabello (Spa, Kelme) gained his second victory in the Mallorca Challenge after today's 5th and final race saw no real changes to the overall classification. The 166 km race started and finished in Palmanova, however the Kelme team were able to keep things under control for Cabello to take the win. Eight riders had attacked at the 45 km mark - Australian Jonathan Hall (Festina), Jan Hruska (Cze, Vitalicio), Oscar Pozzi (Ita, Amica Chips), Andrea Tafi (Ita, Mapei), Rik Reinerink (Ned, Batavus), the the Spaniards, Javier Ochoa (Kelme), Luis Perez (Vitalicio) and Eduardo Hernandez (Relax-Fuenlabrada). They gained up to seven minutes at one stage, before the sprinters teams started to work to reel them in, led by Rabobank. However, not all were caught as the break disintegrated over the climbs, allowing Elio Aggiano (Ita, Vitalicio) and several others to bridge up with 20 km to go. Aggiano joined Guieseppe Palumbo (Amica Chips) and Javier Ochoa at the front as the three held a slim lead on the remnants of the break. With one kilometer to go, Aggiano attacked and was able to take the stage victory by 12 seconds from Palumbo. Cabello praised his team for the work they did in ensuring his overall victory, and was delighted to win his second "Mallorca Challenge":"Of the dozen victories that I have in my personal record, half of them I have obtained in Majorca, and I was stripped of one in 1994 unjustly when I was considered for doping because I was taking medicine for my bones," he said. "It was not easy, because we have been attacked every day, especially by ONCE and Vitalicio Seguros. The winner's laurels are for me, but the victory is the fruit of the great work of my companions. We were up to the task and at difficult times, we did not lose our nerve," said Cabello. He hopes to continue his success in the Vuelta Andalucia starting next weekend.
