| Wiggins wins Cinturón Tour of Mallorca
Great Britain's Bradley Wiggins (WCPP) has won the 528.3 kilometre Cinturón
Ciclista Internacional a Mallorca, a five day stage race for elite and
under 23 riders. Wiggins beat German Enrico Poitschke by 28 seconds, with
Spaniard Guillermo Ferrer finishing third overall. The final stage was
won by Lars Teutenberg (Arenal).
20 year old Wiggins won two of the five stages, and finished in the top
5 every day, a superbly consistent performance, helped by his WCPP teammates.
The decisive stage was stage 4, that finished on the feared Alto de Cura.
Wiggins finished third in this stage behind eventual KOM winner, Guillermo
Ferrer and Enrico Poitschke.
Wiggins also won the points classification, best foreign rider and Great
Britain's WCPP also dominated the team competition. "I had great
legs for the race and was feeling especially strong on the hills and mountains.
Because the team supported me so well, I never felt in any danger. They
are a great bunch of guys and the race was just not a victory for me but
for all the team. It was a fantastic team performance. Thanks lads!"
"We have won so many trophies it is going a job to get them all
home, I might even have to carry the biggest one with me on the plane,"
he added.
