This is no ordinary cycling trip but a combination of everything a cyclist could wish for.

We are excited to be revisiting Mallorca with a magic tour designed to connect with cycling history and immersion in the experiences that shaped world-class athletes.

Ride on routes meticulously chosen by Simon Jones - Coach of the Year for the Great Britain cycling team, Head of Innovation and Performance for Team Sky, as well as International Performance Director for Cycling Australia (check his bio under About Us) - he knows this island like the back of his hand.

Daily rides wind through the iconic landscapes of the Majorcan countryside, taking in its classic sights and challenges. Our journey goes beyond the well-trodden paths. It ventures into less known roads, inviting you to discover the hidden cafes and cycling attractions only known to insiders like Simon. This tour is a blend of Majorca's best-known treasures and its secret corners, all experienced through the lens of professional cycling's most celebrated training routes.

Join us exploring Majorca's breathtaking scenery as you trace the steps of the greatest cyclists of our time.
