Remco Evenepoel<\/a> stormed to victory for the second consecutive day on Friday, winning the Trofeo Selva \u2013 Santuari de Lluc at Challenge Mallorca.<\/p>\n

The Belgian won on Thursday at the Trofeo Ses Salines team time trial<\/a> with his new Red Bull-Bora-hansgrohe<\/a> team, and won again in his first road race for the squad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Evenepoel attacked on the Coll de S\u00f3ller with around 56km to go, and ended up leaving everyone else behind. He took Adr\u00eca Pericas (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Pablo Castrillo (Movistar) with him initially, but then dropped the pair on the descent, having sped past the day’s break.<\/p>\n

In the sprint for second, Ant\u00f3nio Morgado (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) won, almost two minutes behind the victor, ahead of Christian Scaroni (XDS Astana<\/a> Team) in third.<\/p>\n

“I’m very happy with this second victory,” Evenepoel said on TV post-race. “It’s great to start like this with a new team.”<\/p>\n

“It was a beautiful day and I’m glad I was able to execute the plan we discussed this morning.”<\/p>\n

“[It’s] good for morale,” he continued. “This gives a lot of motivation to the whole team and to myself too. Things look good for the future. Hopefully we can continue this momentum.<\/p>\n

“It was a difficult course. There was a lot of up and down, which left little time to recover. That last climb was also very tough.<\/p>\n

“It is a beautiful race and also one that is tough enough to make a difference.”<\/p>\n

Evenepoel returns to action on Sunday in the Trofeo Andratx-Pollen\u00e7a, after three races in Mallorca: “We’ll see how my legs feel then. Three out of three would be nice. It’s definitely a team goal to win again. We’ll do our best.”<\/p>\n

“It’s the new cycling,” Scaroni said post-race. “When Tadej [Poga\u010dar] or Remco are in the race, you never expect where they can attack. When he attacked, I was a bit behind, I tried to reply, I was really close to close the gap, but he was too strong for me.”<\/p>\n
