New Movistar signing Pelayo Sánchez took a thrilling victory at the Trofeo Pollença - Port d'Andratx after outsprinting Marius Mayrhofer (Tudor Pro Cycling) in a chaotic final kilometre. Mayrhofer took up the mantle of chasing a late attack from Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates) but paid the price in the final sprint with Sánchez coming around him in the final 150 metres.

Sánchez's victory was the first of the 2024 season for Movistar and the first by a Spaniard at this year's Challenge Mallorca.
