Training Camp Croatia — preparing for spring
Two weeks, one road, one team — winter base miles in the Adriatic sun.
January took us to Croatia. Two weeks on the coast, kilometres in the legs and the first proper team rhythm of the year. Mornings in the saddle, afternoons on the details — climbing, pacing, cornering at race speed.
The road profile around the camp is exactly what we needed: long, steady climbs that punish bad pacing and reward riders who can read each other. Recovery rides along the water. Hard intervals up the inland passes.
Off the bike, the table mattered as much as the road. Team dinners every night, conversations that carried into the next ride, the small adjustments that turn eleven riders into one squad.
The result: a fitter team, a tighter team, and a clear plan for the opening races. Spring is closer than the calendar suggests.
