These seven easy-to-follow tips from one of the greatest cyclists of all time will help you get the most out of your first sportive.
Stephen Roche is only one of two cyclists to win the Triple Crown, claiming victory in the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France and the World Road Race Championship in a remarkable 1987. It made him a cycling legend and this summer, to celebrate the 30th anniversary, Stephen returns to some of the most iconic alpine climbs for the first time since winning that 1987 Tour de France. You can join him at L’Etape 87 in what is a unique opportunity to be a part of cycling history. After retiring from pro cycling, he then went on to create Stephen Roche Cycling Holidays and Training Camps in 1995 with Claude Escalon, making the most of the superior quality of Mallorca's roads, its spectacular variety of rides and developed infrastructure. The company's aim is to give back to the sport and guide cycling enthusiasts of all ages and abilities on fantastic cycling holidays.
