After two weeks of training camp on Lanzarote I’m back in cold Germany. The camp went really well — better than last year — but was also pretty exhausting.
For all those who stayed home, I put on my cameraman hat and filmed the best sections of the route. See for yourselves…
From the Haria radar station to Teguise: a short high-speed stretch where you can hit 90+ km/h. Unfortunately followed by a 180-degree hairpin…
———-
From Mirador del Rio down the coast to Ye: short, punchy, with a stunning view
———-
From Orzola to Arrieta: not really a descent in the traditional sense, more rolling terrain with a strong tailwind (12km in 17 minutes, easy spinning)
———-
From Mancha Blanca to Yaiza via Timanfaya National Park: scenically very appealing, provided you enjoy lava fields and desolation
———-
Descent to Orzola
———-
From Femes to Playa Blanca: short, punchy and very wind-exposed
———-
From Mirador del Rio to Arrieta: long descent with plenty of tailwind, part of the Ironman course
———-
From Tegoyo to Puerto del Carmen: number 2 on my list — especially the final section is brilliant
———-
From the Haria radar station via Tabayesco to Arrieta: unchallenged number 1 on my personal hit list
