After yesterday's stage win from a lone break, Spaniard Antonio Colom (Katusha) has sealed the win in the 2009 Tour of Majorca.

The final day's racing was settled in a sprint finish, won by Gerald Ciolek (Milram), with Columbia team-mates Maxime Monfort and Marcel Sieberg taking second and third.

However, no-one could touch Colom at the top of the overall standings, and the 2009 edition of the challenge race was his.
