The weather in Blighty is slowly improving, but the Mediterranean is the place to be if you’re looking for clement cycling weather and a touch of the pro lifestyle.

With the Tour of Normandy (March 23-29) quickly approaching, the team of 12 who congregated in Mallorca were fighting hard for selection. And with seven new recruits for 2015, there will have been a lot of riders hoping to put in eye-catching performances.
Liam Holohan, who has been with the team since 2013, told Cycling Weekly: “The depth of riders is something we maybe didn’t have in the first year. Then, I thought it was a foregone conclusion that I’d do all the best races.
