The final stage of the Mallorca Challenge saw a rare double performance by Australian riders, as Robbie McEwen (Domo-Farm Frites) sprinted to take the stage win, while Mathew Hayman (Rabobank) held on to win the general classification. McEwen managed to outsprint Erik Zabel today, with Sven Teutenberg (Festina) finishing in third place.

The final stage was not considered as difficult as the previous one, however four second category mountains still had to be climbed during the 153.4 kilometre leg that started and finished in Palmanova. As expected, the Kelme team put race leader Mathew Hayman under pressure, but could not crack him on the climbs.

Initially, the Kelmes' speed and the crosswinds caused a split in the peloton, with 15 riders going clear. Despite placing five men in the break, Kelme did not have their GC leaders, Francesco Cabello and Juan Jose de los Angeles in it. Rabobank did not have anyone in the break, and worked hard to contain it which they did with success.

On the cols of Sa Gramola, Sa Batalla and Sa Creu, Cabello and de los Angeles could not get rid of Hayman, although they did not give up as the race sped into flatter country. Rabobank and Telekom neutralised any further attacks, and a compact bunch entered Palmanova for the finish.

Erik Zabel had to be content with two seconds, two firsts and a sixth in the Challenge as Robbie McEwen scored an upset win to take his first UCI points for the year.

In addition to winning the overall classification, Mathew Hayman also took out the metas volantes and special sprints classifications, while Antonio Colom (Jazztel) won the mountains and Erik Zabel won the points jersey. Kelme-Costa Blanca was the best team.
