"First race, first win" - Marijn van den Berg kicks off 2025 season in style at Trofeo Ses Salines
Cycling
For the second time in his career, EF Education-EasyPost's Marijn van den Berg has triumphed at Trofeo Ses Salines. On Thursday afternoon in Mallorca, the Dutch sprinter powered to victory ahead of Anthony Turgis in a frantic finale.
"It was a bit of a different situation with the rain two years ago," reflected Van den Berg post-race, referencing his previous victory at Trofeo Ses Salines back in 2023. "Today we had some nice weather and I always like to race here in Mallorca so it's nice to win here again."
"We knew in the team that it was a little bit windy and so we planned to stay on the left-hand side [in the finish] where it was more sheltered. It was the perfect thing to do," continues the 25-year-old's assessment, before turning his attention to the next part of the Challenge Mallorca series. "First race, first win. Tomorrow [Friday] we go again. The terrain is very different, but I'll do my best to be up there again."

- All journalists should start asking the UCI uncomfortable questions, sending inquiries about the interpretation of the rules and the justification of the results. This is the only way to change anything.averagecyclist09-11-2026
- OFF TOPIC: OK, don't get mad with me... I have some very important news, something that can't be overlooked, something that can't be ignored!!! In the new documentary Anatomy of a G.O.A.T. (released in November 2026), legendary Belgian cyclist Eddy Merckx spoke about Tadej Pogačar: “He has revived a style of cycling that we had almost forgotten. He is now better than me.” Key statements by Eddy Merckx about Pogačar in 2026: - Acknowledging his superiority: This time, Merckx openly admitted, without any subsequent backtracking or reservations, that Pogačar had surpassed him and was now above him. This contrasts with 2024, when he quickly softened his remarks about Pogačar being faster. - The possibility of a historic treble (Giro, Tour and Vuelta): During the July Tour de France (where Pogačar claimed his fifth title), Merckx stated that Pogačar was the only cyclist in history capable of winning all three Grand Tours (the Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and Vuelta a España) in a single season, provided the conditions were right and he had sufficient team support. - Lack of serious competition: Merckx emphasised that Pogačar has no real rivals in the mountains, thanks to his extraordinary climbing ability and the fact that he continues to improve despite still being under 28 (he turned 28, or passed that age, in autumn 2026). - Praise for his racing style: He highlighted how Pogačar is bringing back the aggressive, uncompromising spirit of cycling's golden era, when races were not merely about calculated stages and tactical conservatism, but about attacking from long distances. PS: Now, this is real important cycling news. Capish?PogiSloFans09-11-2026
