What happens if Pierre Rolland cannot attend the camp?
Cycling is a sport where crashes or illness can happen. While Pierre Rolland is confirmed and committed to the camp, his participation cannot be guaranteed at 100%. In the unlikely event that he cannot attend, we will do our best to invite another former professional cyclist to take part. If no suitable alternative can be found, a partial refund related to this feature will be offered.
What's the minimum level of fitness required to participate?
Participation in this camp requires an advanced level, with a minimum FTP of approximately 3.5w/kg. Reserved for riders practicing competition or who like to push their limits, this camp will be more intense than those that we organize throughout the year.
What's the average speed?
Let’s be clear: speed on a bike means absolutely nothing! Whether you’re riding alone or in a group, battling headwinds or cruising with a tailwind, on flat roads or hilly terrain, speed can vary dramatically—even with the same power and effort. This is why we don’t provide average speeds on our website; we want to avoid any confusion. Some rides will be fast, others slower, but all will be challenging, regardless of the route. Compared to other camps, ours requires a relatively high level of fitness—whether due to the pace on flat sections or the difficulty of the climbs.
Will I be able to keep up with the team?
The answer is simple. YOU ARE THE TEAM! We will always adjust to your level so nobody will get left behind. Ever. We welcome riders with a wide range of experience and abilities. The only requirement is a strong passion for cycling and the drive to improve. Any concerns? Email us!
What's the average level of participants?
We have been welcoming riders ranging from 2.6w/kg up to 5.4w/kg. We manage to all ride together, as a team. On the flat sections, strongest riders lead the group. While on hills, each rider will climb at his/her own pace, and we regroup at the top.
Am I too old for this?
There is no age to treat yourself and have fun! Our cycling trips are for everyone. To date, we have welcomed cyclists from 19 to 70 years old. Any concerns? Email us!
How many kilometers will we ride per day?
Here, we prefer to talk in hours instead. Rides last between 4 and 6 hours, with one coffee/recovery ride in the middle of the week. Do you think it’s too much for you? Don’t forget that with massages, nutrition, coaching and the fact that we take care of everything else, getting back on the bike each morning will be easier than what you have ever imagined!

Where is the Villa located?
We use different villas depending on availability and number of participants. They are all situated in the same area, on the best part of the island: in the Serra de Tramuntana, in Pollença, or in the area around.
What meals are included?
Three meals a day are included: breakfast, lunch and dinner. On the first day, arrival day, only dinner is included. On the last day, the departure day, only breakfast is included.
What kit or accessories should I bring?
We provide the following items to each rider : bib shorts (bib tights in winter), short-sleeved jersey (long sleeves in winter), socks, and helmet. However, depending on the period you come to Mallorca, we recommend bringing some extra warm clothes like a rain jacket, arm warmers, or some winter clothes. Black items and accessories are preferred. For more information, consult our “How to Pack” page.
IMPORTANT: Bike, helmet, and GPS must be returned in good condition at the end of the week, so please make sure to take care of them!
Can I bring my own bike?
Yes, you can. However, we recommend that you ride one of our full carbon bikes. Traveling with a bike is expensive and risky; it can be lost, damaged, or delayed. And don't worry about your riding position; our mechanic will replicate the exact settings you are used to at home (saddle height, angle, setback, etc.), thanks to our Bikesettings.com tool.
Is there a discount for bringing my own bike?
Yes. A discount of 80 euros will be applied if you bring your own bike. However, we do not assume responsibility for its safety or any damage. You will also be responsible for any spare parts that may be used during the camp if you decide to bring your own bike.
