Most riders open
their season blind.
You'll open it with a plan.
January is when the peloton wakes up — WorldTour and Continental teams flood the Costa Blanca to open their own season on the same roads you'll be riding. Everyone else shows up guessing their form. You'll show up tested, with a coach who already knows your numbers and your race calendar.
Yours starts on data."
Same roads.
Different standard.
14–17°C, Even in January
While most of Europe trains in the dark and the cold, Calpe holds dry, mild conditions all January — full volume, real outdoor work, while everyone else is on the trainer.
The Month WorldTour Teams Open Their Season
Coll de Rates, Puig Campana, the Guadalest valley — the same climbs UAE Team Emirates, Jumbo-Visma, and Bahrain Victorious use to open their own season here. Same roads, same month, same energy.
We Ride Before The Roads Fill Up
January brings the biggest crowds of the year to Calpe's climbs. We roll out early — first on the road, the best of the morning light and the atmosphere, none of the traffic jam on Coll de Rates.
Test the numbers.
Build the plan.
Lactate & FTP Baseline Testing
Real physiological data, not guesswork — know your zones before you build a season on top of them.
Coach-Built Prep Plan
A structured plan for the month before the camp, so you arrive ready to test your fitness — not build it from scratch.
Race Calendar Planning
Sit down with your coach and map your 2027 races — priorities, build blocks, and what each one is actually for.
Morning Mobility & Activation
Dynamic activation and mobility before every ride. Keeps the engine running through 7 straight training days.
Athlete Nutrition
Recovery-focused meals, carb timing built around your sessions — not generic camp catering.
3 Months of Remote Coaching
Camp ends, coaching doesn't. Three months of remote check-ins to keep the season on track after you fly home.
Before I build your season, I get to know the rider. Numbers tell me where you are — knowing you tells me how far you can go.Carlos Cobos Márquez · High Performance Coach, Portcycling
