The EF Education-EasyPost rider attacked into the final corner and left his rivals gasping, as he held his speed across the line and celebrated his first ever professional win. Afterwards, Marijn thanked his teammates for the work they did to set him up for the wet and tricky finale.

“I stayed with the first group and then we had a perfect lead out with Neilson and Owain and Julius,” Marijn said. “They did a great job. I just had to finish it so it was good. It’s the first win of my career with the pros. Hopefully there are more to come.”

This victory proved the second-year pro’s resilience, daring, and skill.

It was another cold wet day in Mallorca. The second of the Spanish island’s early-season races, the Trofeo Port d’Alcúdia, looped around the rugged northeast corner of the island, crossing the second-category Coll sa Batalla and then the Coll Femenia, before the swooping return to the beachside town of Port d’Alcúdia and the finish-line. Marijn had to get over the mountains with the front group before he could let loose in the rainy, technical final kilometre. The plan from the start was to hit the last corner first and not look back.

That’s exactly what Marijn did. He worked his way forward through the surging group with the help of his teammates. Hugh Carthy had done a huge turn to bring back the last attacker and keep the bunch together for the sprint. Then, Neilson Powless, Owain Doull, and Julius van den Berg took over and brought Marijn to the front. Marijn launched when he saw the final turn. He knew the line was right around the bend. The others never had a chance.

“I’m not really a bunch sprinter, but this was perfect for me,” he said. “It was a hard race, small group, and then a sprint. I think that’s what my power is. I feel really good. I felt good during the training camp and during training in the last weeks. I had good legs today and to finish it is always nice.”

Congratulations Marijn!

Marijn Van den Berg surprises the favorites in Alcúdia

The young Dutch runner from EF Education-EasyPost, Marijn Van den Berg, 23, has claimed his first success as a professional, at the finish line of the Ses Salines-Alcúdia Trophy, ahead of the British Ethan Vernon (Soudal Quick-Step) and the Eritrean Biniam Girmay (Intermarché-Circus).

During the first 100 kilometres, without difficulties up to Coll de Sa Batalla, which was the biggest obstacle the runners encountered, the leading role went to Alessandro Fancellu (EOLO-Kometa), Colby Lange (Project Echelon Racing), Luis Ángel Maté (Euskaltel-Euskadi) and Julius Van den Berg (EF Education-EasyPost).

The four rode together, at which point the pace in the peloton was set by the Intermarché-Circus-Wanty with Girmay in the lead, being returned to the discipline of the group on the ascent to Sa Batalla, where a select group formed in the lead with just 40 units.

Movistar Power:

The peloton reach the streets of Alcúdia in a group where Van den Berg came out ahead of all his rivals in the last corner, which was located just fifty meters from the finish line, achieving his first victory as a professional.

Tomorrow the Garden Hotels-Luxcom Mallorca Cycling Challenge continues, with the Andratx Mirador D’es Colomer Trophy, with 160.9 kilometers and three scoring ports: Coll de Sa Gramola, Coll de Claret and Coll de Puigmajor (1st category) and final in the Mirador d’es Colomer (3rd category).

Attacke von Nils Politt im Finale der Trofeo Ses Salines bleibt unbelohnt

Nachdem sich schnell vier Fahrer vom Feld absetzen konnten, war das Rennen heute kontrolliert bis zum letzten Anstieg des Tages. Dort setzte BORA – hansgrohe Akzente und in der Abfahrt konnte sich Nils Politt von einem klein gewordenen Feld absetzen. Nils kämpfte tapfer, wurde aber rund 6 km vor dem Ziel wieder gestellt. Im Sprint erreichten dann Patrick Konrad und Ide Schelling die Ränge 10 und 12.

Von der Ziellinie

“Wir wollten am Ende etwas versuchen und offensiv fahren. Ich konnte mich in der Abfahrt absetzen, hatte aber gehofft, dass eine kleine Gruppe aufschließt. Dem war nicht der Fall und in dem Tal war es dann alleine brutal hart. Mir war dann schnell klar, dass das so nicht klappen kann, aber es war ein gutes Training und ich konnte zeigen, dass ich mit meinem Aufbau auf dem richtigen Weg bin.” – Nils Politt

“Für Matt war das heute sein erstes Rennen nach seinem schlimmen Sturz letztes Jahr und für ihn ging es einfach darum, mal wieder Wettkampfluft zu schnuppern und in den Rennrhythmus zu kommen. Wir hatten uns vorgenommen, wenn die Situation passt, am Ende des letzten Anstiegs und im Finale offensiv zu fahren und das haben die Jungs gut umgesetzt. Koni, Ben, Ide und Nils waren sehr aktiv und Nils konnte sich dann absetzen. Leider hat sich keine Gruppe gebildet und im Feld waren sich zu viele Teams einig. Das Finale war dann sehr tricky mit den nassen Straßen und Kurven und da haben wir heute sicherlich nicht das letzte Hemd riskieren wollen. Von da her ist der 10. Rang von Koni am Ende in Ordnung.” – Torsten Schmidt, Sportlicher Leiter
