Rabobank's Dekker finishes last stage number one
Kelme's Cabello captures overall Mallorca win for third time

Team Kelme-Costa Blanca's ten young riders worked the peloton over today to ensure the overall GC win for their 32 year old captain, Francisco (Paco) Cabello. Rabobank's Erik Dekker, led out by teammate Matthé Pronk won the sprint finish in downtown Palma Nova. Pronk finished seconds with David Muñoz (Kelme) rounding out the top three finishers in today's stage.
Today's course was one of the hardest of the tour. It was constantly up and down and wound through narrow villages, making it hard for the peloton to maintain high speeds during several sections. It included two category 2 climbs and two category 3 climbs on the dramatic mountain coastline. It started and finished in Palma Nova, a mostly British tourist area where you can eat fish and chips, drink beer in pubs or have tea.
At 27 km into the race, Juan Antonio Flecha (iBanesto), Karsten Kroon (Rabobank), Michael Rasmussen (CSC) Dave Bruylandts (Domo) and Mikel Pradera (ONCE) attacked. The five remained in front of the peloton, gaining over 5'00 on the field at 100 km into the race. Rasmussen eventually fell off the pace with 50km from the finish.
On the third climb of the day, the Coll de sa Gramola, Karsten Kroon (Rabobank) was dropped as Flecha pushed the pace to the top of the climb. As the peloton started the climb, several minutes back, local rider and mountain leader Toni Colom (Relax-Fuenlabrada) launched an attack to close the gap to the leaders.
Dario David Cioni (Mapei), Iker Castano (Phonak), David Arroyo (ONCE) and Ruben Plaza (iBanesto) were in a chase group that eventually was absorbed as Team Kelme and Relax pushed the pace at the front of the peloton to try to get the overall win for Cabello (Kelme) or Toni Colom (Relax). At the beginning of the last climb, Toni Colom launched an attack in an effort to make up the 24 seconds Cabello had on him for the GC.
The peloton closed the time gap to the original breakaways to just 1'27 with 10 km left in the race. Colom, along with David Arroyo (ONCE) were absorbed a few kilometres later. At 5 km from the finish, Kelme reduced the time gap to under 25 seconds, but Bruylandts (Domo) continued to ride like a man possessed, driving the break even harder. However, Bruylandts, at the front of the break, took a wrong turn at a roundabout and was absorbed by the field; the three others in the break continued to the finish, but were caught in the last two kilometres of the race. Rabobank's Pronk provided Dekker with the perfect wheel for a 1-2 stage win.
"I was surprised to win here," commented Dekker. "We didn't think we would catch the break, but when we realized we had, we decided to go for the win."
"The Mallorca Challenge used to be thought of as just a training race, but in the past few years, it's become a real race, they ride really fast," added Dekker.
