Why Costa Blanca?
To be more specific, We mean The Marina Mountains that sit behind our Denia base,
btn the airports of Alicante & Valencia. You can be assured these are The very Best Cycling Training roads in Europe. See Google map
Top riders based here include Spanish legend and 3 times world road race champion Oscar Freire (Rabobank) and Katusha rider Alexander Kolobnev , silver medalist at the World Championships 07 & 09.
Team Astana had their first training camp here back in December 07 & Alberto Contador (TDF winner 2007, 2009 & 2010) was back here in February 2010.
