Primo\u017e Rogli\u010d<\/a> (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) became the first winner of the Andorra Cycling Masters<\/a>, the inaugural exhibition event on Sunday. The Slovenian amassed 55 points over two events, besting Isaac Del Toro<\/a> (51 points), Tadej Poga\u010dar<\/a> (42) – both UAE Team Emirates-XRG and Visma Lease a Bike’s Jonas Vingegaard<\/a> (36).<\/p>\n

With only four riders competing, the event was logically not classified as a UCI-ranked event to deliver a new approach to racing, one that \u201cdoesn’t occupy the same space as stage racing or criteriums,\u201d according to the organiser.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Andorra Cycling Masters featured a two-part format, firstly an uphill time trial in the morning, followed by a city centre circuit.<\/p>\n

At a relatively early start of 9 am, the quartet tackled the time trial on the Coll de la Gallina, a Hors-Cat\u00e9gorie climb, famous for its demanding incline inAndorra. The ascent, starting from Bixessarri, was 8.23 kilometres in total and its elevation gain over 750 metres.<\/p>\n

Rogli\u010d set a time of 25:39, with Poga\u010dar trailing with 25:59, Del Toro with 28:05 and lastly, Vingegaard with 29:24.<\/p>\n

The four met again for the urban circuit race at 11 am in the capital city of Andorra la Vella and neighbouring Escaldes-Engordany for 15 laps of the 2.14km loop. Though Poga\u010dar made a few moves, Del Toro took the win just ahead of Rogli\u010d, with the reigning World Champion coming in third.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoga\u010dar and Del Toro raced against each other,” Rogli\u010d told L\u2019Equipe<\/a>, \u201cand it was tough, but it was a pleasure to be in that company. Of course I hope to come back next year, I really do.”<\/p>\n
