Morgado delivers again after Calvia triumph
As Evenepoel’s acceleration shattered the peloton, Morgado remained measured over the final ascent of the Coll de sa Batalla before asserting himself in the sprint against Christian Scaroni and Mathys Rondel to secure second place.
Behind them, teammate Felix Grossschartner crossed in sixth, while 19-year-old Adrià Pericas impressed from the early break and earned the combativity award after an attacking ride across the major climbs.
“Our team races for one thing, which is to win”
Looking ahead to the next day of racing in the Challenge Mallorca, Morgado made clear the mindset inside the UAE squad.
“I will race tomorrow if everything goes well, so we will see. With these big guys, it is hard to win, but you never know. Our team races for one thing, which is to win, so we will try.”
Evenepoel’s move proved untouchable on the day, but Morgado’s performance ensured his excellent start to 2026 continues, adding consistency to his Calvia success with another high-level ride against one of the sport’s very best.
