FTP & Lactate Test

We always start our camps the same way: with a proper FTP and lactate test up Sa Batalla. Why? Because we want to know your power zones and understand exactly where you stand before the week begins.

But here’s the thing: an FTP test is not about saving energy for the top. It’s about going all in, leaving absolutely nothing behind. If you’re smiling on the photos, you didn’t push hard enough — that’s what our coach Aurélien has told riders hundreds of times.

With the lactate test at the summit, we can see with 100% certainty who went full gas and who didn’t. That gives us precise data, a clear idea of how deep each rider went, and the perfect baseline for personalised coaching throughout the week.

That’s the pro experience.
