Stage 1 - February 10: Trofeo Mallorca: Palma - Palma, 100km
Philippe Gilbert (Française des Jeux) launched a surprise attack with one kilometre to go in stage 1 of the Challenge Volta a Mallorca. The Belgian managed to hold on for the win with the sprinters nipping at his rear wheel as he crossed the line. Rabobank's Graeme Brown and Gerolsteiner's Robert Förster finished second and third.
Gilbert was among those who avoided involvement in crashes just two kilometres before the finish.
