Ride where fire meets the sea.
The European Islands long-term challenge is here, bringing a summer-long adventure across some of Europe’s most iconic volcanic landscapes.
This long-term challenge takes you across three distinct island worlds, each shaped by volcanic forces, yet completely unique in character. Expect a mix of coastal roads, rolling hills, and steady climbs designed for riders who want both discovery and structured training.
One challenge, three island worlds
Explore European islands across multiple stages:
- Azores: Ride through lush green landscapes, volcanic craters, and Atlantic coastlines.
- Sicily: Discover sunlit roads beneath Mount Etna with a mix of rolling and climbing routes.
- Lanzarote: Experience dramatic black lava fields and raw, lunar terrain.
Each location brings its own atmosphere, terrain, and dedicated route challenges, along with a Kick Off race to start the journey together.
