13th Challenge Illes Balears - 1.3 (x 5)Spain, February 1-5, 2004Stage 1 - February 1: Palma-Palma, 82.5 kmDavis puts first runs on the board for Liberty SegurosAllan Davis has started his season with Liberty Seguros in the best possible manner, beating Oscar Freire (Rabobank) and Erik Zabel (T-Mobile) to win the first stage of the Challenge Illes Balears. The 82.5 km circuit race in Palma was run at an average speed of over 51 km/h, and Davis made the best use of his early season form to take the bunch sprint. The 10 lap race was ridden at a very aggressive pace, with many riders eager to test their legs in what was for many the first race of the season. A bunch sprint was always in the offing, though, and Rabobank sat on the front to try and lead Oscar Freire home. But in the final metres, Davis edged in front of Freire and took the victory. A past winner of the Challenge, Francisco Cabello (Comunidad Valenciana-Kelme), saw his chances vanish on the last lap when he crashed with several others. Cabello was the worst hurt and finished 2.49 behind, and is doubtful for tomorrow's 159 km stage between Alcudia and Port d'Alcudia. PhotographyImages by AFP Photo
