Team Sky are on the Spanish island of Majorca for a training camp and to take part in the four-race series that comprises the Challenge Mallorca, starting today (Thursday, January 29).
Despite a warmer climate than the team's native Britain, the riders were still wrapped up against the elements for a training ride on Wednesday.
Ben Swift, David Lopez and new recruits Andy Fenn and Elia Viviani donned scarves and warm head gear as they headed out on the island.
All three riders will be part of Sky's team for the Trofeo Santanyí - the opening day of the Challenge Mallorca - along with Ian Boswell, Bernhard Eisel, Christian Knees, Danny Pate and Xabier Zandio.
