Trofeo Calvià
Very early in the race, Carr was in the very first 2-men breakaway, and with 35km to go that became a 6-men front group.
McNulty attacked with 30km to go, and just Carr and Vlasov could follow.
Due to attacks and the fierce pace, McNulty( 3rd ) got cramps in the finale and Carr won the sprint-a-deux versus Vlasov( 2nd ).

Trofeo Ses Salines
Soudal - Quick-Step was the strongest in the hectic final few kilometers of the peleton sprint,

Nobody picked Magnier( 19, FRA ), he and Lamperti( 21, USA ) are new in Soudal - Quick-Step, both made a transfer from Trinity Racing( GB ).

women's race ;
Rosita Reijnhout (Visma - Lease a Bike) took a dramatic solo win at the 2024 women's Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race.

The 19-year-old held off fast-finishing chasers Dominka Wlodarczyk (UAE Team ADQ) and Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (FDJ-Suez) to claim her first professional win.

It was the Dane who had gone solo on the second and final ascent of the Challambra Crescent climb, before Reijnhout and Wlodarczyk joined her on the run for home.

With the trio struggling to work together cohesively, the Dutch teenager set off solo. She looked to be fading in the final 1500 metres as Wlodarczyk and Uttrup Ludwig closed in, but a final burst of power sealed a breakthrough win for Reijnhout.

“I can't believe it. I'm so happy. It was really hard,” Reijnhout said after the finish. “Ludwig first went and I go after and they stopped pushing. I thought 'why do we stop because there's a gap', so I was on my own and I was just fighting and pacing.”

CFF League winner = Vos 

Trofeo Andratx
New Movistar signing Pelayo Sánchez took a thrilling victory after outsprinting Mayrhofer( 2nd ) in a chaotic final kilometre.
Mayrhofer took up the mantle of chasing a late attack from Soler,
but paid the price in the final sprint with Sánchez coming around him in the final 150 metres.
Vlasov( 3rd ) took his third podium of the week at the Challenge Mallorca.

Also an exciting race before the final kilometre ;

After catching the morning breakaway by the peleton, Arrieta led the race solo from 40km to go
before Van Eetvelt reeled him in 13km from the line in Andratx on the Coll de sa Gramola and dropped him.
But his race wasn’t done as Arrieta chased back onto the Belgian on the final descent, but Arrieta crashed with 5 km to go,
and van Eetvelt was caught with 1 km to go by the small chasing group.
