That was a great overview. 👍I’ve done it three times and each time I learn something.
It’s a great event!
great video, thanks for posting
I’m glad it could help
Great clip! Thx 👌 Did you see any small water fountains along the road to top up the bottles?
After riding around that area a lot and along the 312 I honestly can’t say I recall a single water fountain. I’m sure if there was one there would be a large hoard of people queuing for it. Would be great if there was though.
If I am wrong and anyone knows, please correct me.
Nice vid- add "Mallorca" into the title, should help with UA-cam click throughs
Thank you for the tip. I appreciate it!
Jersey for 2024 is not mandatory, but the new style "wristband" will be...
Good to know, thank you. I haven’t signed up this year. I’m glad they haven’t gone too far with it.
Carbon soles & gravel 😱
Tell me about it!
Do you suggest to come 3days before the event or thursday and friday is enough?
It just comes down to cost of flights really. I don’t think it makes much difference unless you are coming from a very different time zone
@@cyclingunboxed I have plan in terms of warming and last year heat acclimatization. Also if plane has delays etc.
That’s fair enough.
The temperature is really nice at that time of year so for me, heat acclimation isn’t an issue. Generally around 25c during the day, colder in the morning.
But yes if worried about plane delays, best to go earlier.
How early do I have to be at the start to get a place in front. Without VIP ticket.
It’s tough to say as I didn’t get there that early but I would try to get there before 5am. That would easily get you into the top 15%
@@cyclingunboxed i am preparing to use a plastic sack when waiting for the start.
Recommendation for booking with regard to the quota?
I would highly recommend attempting the 225 if you think you can do it. You get to see pretty much all of the good bits that way. As I said in the video though, you don’t have to stick with the distance you have chosen. If you make the time cuts then you can go as far as you like.
@@cyclingunboxed I mean the registration and saving a Spot. Read that all spots were gone within minutes.
Ah sorry! When we signed up we had a few hours before it was sold out online but maybe it sold out faster this year.
It might become one of those events where you have to be ready as the places open
Were there many crashes?
I did see two. Both before Soller.
1st on someone just had a slow speed slip of the road up Femenia
2nd one was someone going too fast down puig major
I think I am in pain just thinking about it!!! 😵
They give all the clothing that people leave behind to local charities
Ahh good to know, thank you!
Didnt know that. The first 5kms looks like massive a cycling yard sale
Nice up speaking in
every sentence?
