PREVIEW | Trofeo Andratx 2023 - Climbers and puncheurs face off at third Mallorca Challenge race

On the 27th of January the riders will face the third day of the Mallorca races. This is the Trofeo Andratx - Mirador d'es Colomer, a hilly race and perhaps the one that will better suit the climbers, ending in Pollença with a hilltop finish.

The race will be travelling through the mountainous section of the island. The Coll de Puig Maior features 14 kilometers at 6.1% and will split the race apart, followed by a hilly section where attacks are very possible and can succeed.

The Mirador d'es Colomer has 3 kilometers at almost 8% closes the race where gaps can be created once again, a tough challenge for an early-season race.
