Home sweet home for Colom

Team Katusha resumed control of the Challenge Mallorca with Antonio Colom soloing to victory into his home town of Bunyola, 56 seconds ahead of a four-man chase group led by Edvald Boasson Hagen (Team Columbia - Highroad) and Jérôme Pineau (Quick Step) in the hilly 143.3km stage. Colom attacked the lead group with 13km to go on the ascent of the Cat. 2 Coll de Sóller (km 135), crested the summit with 53 seconds to a chase group of 10, and maintained the gap over the final 8.3km to the finish line.
Colom's victory moved the 30-year-old Spaniard into first overall of the Challenge Mallorca, a race won previously by Colom in 2004, while Pineau and Boasson Hagen's efforts put them into second and third respectively on general classification.
"I'm very happy with this victory," said Colom. "I'm glad to win in front of my family and in front of my friends. This is satisfaction you can’t buy. Today the whole team worked for my victory and I want to thank them. I won this challenge in 2004, I hope to win it again."
The penultimate Challenge Mallorca stage contained five Category 2 climbs, a decisive factor in the abandonment of 60 riders on the day. The fireworks commenced from the gun with three riders, Alejandro Paleo (Xacobeo Galicia), Bram Schmitz (Van Vliet EBH Elshof) and Rafael Serrano (Contentpolis - AMPO), escaping after only 2 kilometers of racing.
The leading trio crossed the Coll de Sa Creu (km 26) with a one minute advantage over the peloton and increased their lead to 3'40 after 43 kilometers of racing. At this point, Jesús Rosendo (Andalucia Cajasur) set off in pursuit of the leading trio, and succeeded in bridging the nearly four minute gap after 30 kilometers of chasing.
The leading quartet tackled the Cat. 2 Coll de Sóller (km 85) for the first time, won by Rosendo, while a Katusha-led peloton closed their advantage to one minute at the summit. Katusha's efforts reduced the peloton to approximately 40 riders and the team maintained the pressure at the front approaching the next categorized climb, the Cat. 2 Valldemossa (km 107).
Paleo and Schmitz were dropped by Rosendo and Serrano on the ascent of the Valldemossa. Rosendo won the mountain points at the summit ahead of Serrano with the an even further reduced peloton in hot pursuit. A chase group of eight crossed the Valldemossa 10 seconds behind the lead duo with another 20 riders following at 20 seconds.
Team Katusha's chase efforts absorbed Rosendo and Serrano five kilometers after the Valldemossa summit and Katusha riders Vladimir Karpets, Christian Pfannberger and Antonio Colom swept up all the points at the Deiŕ special sprint line (km 115).
Colom attacked with teammate Joan Horrach and Pablo Lastras (Caisse d'Epargne) approaching the second ascent of the Cat. 2 Coll de Sóller (km 135), but their efforts were neutralized before they arrived at the climb. Colom, intimately familiar with the terrain approaching the finish in Bunyola, again went on the offensive during the 7.6km ascent of the Coll de Sóller and his effort paid off with a solo victory nearly one minute ahead of a select chase group.
