Kobe Goossens claims Trofeo Andratx cown in impressive fashion
CyclingFriday, 27 January 2023 at 16:11
Intermarché - Circus - Wanty rider Kobe Goossens emerged as the winner of the Trofeo Andratx, building a lead in the final kilometres and securing his first victory of the season by leaving his opponent behind.
The peloton faced a series of unsuccessful breakaway attempts as the closely-knit group thwarted the riders' individual efforts. However, a strategic alliance among 42 riders, including Rui Costa and Julian Alaphilippe, ultimately enabled them to create a significant lead.
Kobe Goossens and Cian Uijtdebroeks pulled ahead and left the rest of the group behind. They extended their lead to more than 2 minutes within the last 10 kilometres of the race.
Kobe Goossens maintained his lead and successfully crossed the finish line to celebrate the first professional victory of his career. Pelayo Sánchez Mayo finished second. Lennert Van Eetvelt secured the bronze.

- when he says hit the trails, is that with his wrist, head or some other body part?mij28-05-2025
- Maybe they’re all domestiques, great performers in the background who crack under the spotlight? There are personality traits that matter required to perform well under differing conditions, like the smartest people who mess up during exams when it really matters, am sure teams test for and know this and decide accordingly.Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- Yes, Almedia is brilliant but if you're a fan of Almeida, his slow build up on the climb will put you on the edge of the chair. You just don't know if he is being dropped or doing his own pacing.
KerisVroom28-05-2025 - Ok, you’ve said it 7 different ways but what about adding some journalistic value to opinion and actually going to interview a relevant person about this? Try asking some revealing questions like whether he feels/ felt up to the task, why he sticks around if he’s hungry for leadership, whether his recent spate of rare wins has changed his outlook, whether he has ever asked or been refused leadership, etc. It’s all very well pointing out the obvious but usually there IS a reason for it, maybe a more interesting discussion and opinionising subject would be the REASON and not the fact?Mistermaumau28-05-2025

- Wish Joao Almeida was in this UAE team for the Giro instead of Ayuso.Lobz7728-05-2025
- All of UAE's other leaders have this problem, they are strong but they just cannot win a GT or a monument without Pogi.abstractengineer28-05-2025
- If his fight was for GC, he could have worked together with Carapaz when Carapaz caught up to him. But he just sat behind his wheel and didn't pull, so I thought he might be on his limit. Then, he attacked at the top. Working together with Carapaz could have been beneficial for both GC goals, a win-win. I have no idea about his thought process.KerisVroom28-05-2025
