The Balearic island of Mallorca saw the final race of the 2022 Challenge Family European season on Saturday, at Challenge Paguera-Mallorca.
The victories there went to Jonathan Wayaffe (BEL) and Imogen Simmonds (SUI), and you can find the full report on that HERE.
Following up on that report – and with great thanks to regular contributor José Luis Hourcade (www.joseluishourcade.com) – we can bring you the story of the race in pictures.
