Andorra MoraBanc Classica: Mattias Skjelmose fastest in climbers' sprint atop Coll de la Botella
Briefly

Mattias Skjelmose of Lidl-Trek won the inaugural Andorra MoraBanc Clàssica race, showcasing his recovery after a stomach infection derailed earlier competitions. Skjelmose, who had not raced since Liège-Bastogne-Liège, successfully climbed to victory against notable competitors like Enric Mas and Cristián Rodríguez. He expressed satisfaction with his performance and readiness for the Tour de France, although Lidl-Trek has yet to finalize their goals for the event. His confidence grew post-race, as he considered potential objectives for the upcoming Tour.
"I was sick for a long time and missed the Dauphiné and Suisse, luckily I could do this race and now I think the shape is there for the Tour."
"We wanted to see how I was going in this race. We'll see for the TDF, but after this race, I'm feeling more confident."
