Spanish Track Team Hit the Road




The endurance riders from the Spanish Track Cycling team will compete in next week’s XIX Challenge de Mallorca as the ‘La Selección Española de Pista’. The riders Sergi Escobar, Toni Tauler, David Muntaner, Unai Elorriaga, Carles Torrent, Eloy Teruel, Asier Maeztu, Antonio Miguel, Pablo Aitor Bernal, Iban Leanizbarrutia, Andoni Lafuente, Albert Torres, Airan Fernandez and Ramon Domene will take part in the event that takes place from Sunday 7 to Thursday, 11 February.

The team will be led by Ion Iriberri, track coach, and Jose Luis De Santos, road, with the aim, as in previous years, to serve as preparation for World Championship to be held in Copenhagen in late March.

Having failed to defend their 2008/09 Overall title in the World Cup for the Team Pursuit the squad intend to make amends at the World Championships by medalling in the event.

The Challenge 2010 will start, as is traditional, with the Criterium on Sunday in Palma, on a 11.6-mile street circuit. The next day, the Trophy will be held Cala Millor, Son Servera, with a virtually flat course of 173.5 kilometres.

On Tuesday, 9 it’s the turn of Inca to host a stage, with riders tackling the Coll de Soller (second) and Son Coll Torrella (first) totaling 157.2 kilometres.

A new stage for the race is featured on Wednesday starting in HTC-Columbia’s Vincent Reynes’ hometown of Deia , with a distance of 143 kilometres along the northwest part of Majorca with four mountain passes: Can Costa (second), Coll de Femenia ( second) and Son Coll Torrella (second).

The Magaluf-Palmanova Trophy on Thursday, 11 concludes the event

El Trofeo Magaluf-Palmanova el jueves 11 pondrá el epílogo, una carrera con cinco puertos, en 158,5 kilómetros: Sa Gramola (segunda), Coll d’en Claret (tercera) en dos ocasiones, Coll de Sóller (segunda) y Coll des Tords (tercera).
