Participants will head to Cabo de Gata, Calar Alto, and El Toyo for rides ranging from 40 to 60 kilometres, serving as preparation for the upcoming competition in Morocco starting April 28. Perez de la Blanca highlighted the event’s unique blend of competition and camaraderie, offering participants a memorable experience beyond the race.

Discussions will cover various aspects of the Titan Desert, including its origins, race preparations, challenges faced by cyclists, route particulars, and Almeria’s training facilities.

Former professional cyclist Triki Beltran commented on Almería’s breath-taking landscapes, affirming its potential to attract tourists through cycling routes.
