Chris Snook of new UK outfit Madison Genesis has just been racing the likes of Bradley Wiggins, Tyler Farrar, Alejandro Valverde and Tony Martin in Challenge Mallorca, but he’ll be back in the office catching up with emails on Monday morning. How does he manage to combine racing at a high level with holding down a fulltime job? We caught up with him at his team training camp on Mallorca after the race to find out.

Cheap Majorca accommodation

Hi,
Does anybody know of a cheap hotel/self catering apartment for a week in Majorca (or anywhere sunny) during the school summer holidays for an adult/child? If it's cheap enough might even try and join the miss us and son and hire a bike. Thanks.

Majorca training camps

Could anyone share their experiences of Pollenca based camps? I don't want anything too tough or too flash. Just something steady, friendly and good value. Thanks. Andy

Riding on Mallorca - routes and recommendations

Hi folks. I've got the opportunity of a couple of weeks somewhere sunny ish, in April. I'm seriously considering Mallorca. Basing myself in Palma and heading out each day on my own.

Any comments, suggestions for routes, places to stop for coffee etc?

TIA

South West Majorca. Good for Road cycling?

I'm looking at villas around Puigpunyent in central SW Majorca for next summer. I know, I have a wife who plans ahead... Can anyone tell me what this area is like. I see there are three mountains (with possible good climbs) and Soller isn't too far and supposed to be good. Any advice on the actual terrain and road conditions welcome!
