September 2024, Manchester UK /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Cycling travel experts Sportive Breaks are excited to announce that they are the exclusive fan and hospitality travel partner of Team Visma | Lease a Bike. They will be teaming up with the world’s most successful cycling team to offer fans a way to experience the biggest races on the calendar like never before.

If you’ve ever wanted to get a taste of life in the team hotel, or on the team bus in the morning, this is for you. Have you ever wanted to know what it would be like to be right in the thick of the action as Wout van Aert battles for glory at a cobbled classic? To see the race from the inside of a team vehicle? Or be the one at the roadside handing out bottles to the riders supporting Jonas Vingegaard as he bids for another Tour de France title? Sportive Breaks and Team Visma | Lease a Bike will take you there.

The list of races covered by the partnership is extensive, covering all five Monuments and all three Grand Tours, plus many more spring classics, major stage races such as Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico and a host of major Women’s WorldTour races.

With the new partnership deal covering the period up to 2028, there will also be opportunities to ‘ride and watch’ some of the world’s biggest races. These trips will involve taking part in the race’s sportive one day, with all the kit the Visma | Lease a Bike riders enjoy, before watching the race with support from the team. There will also be opportunities to taste the life of a pro by joining the riders at selected pre-season training camps.

Established in 2015, Sportive Breaks has earned a reputation as one of the foremost cycling travel companies around, with experience in delivering organised trips to Europe’s biggest Gran Fondos, riding holidays in Europe’s great cycling playgrounds and VIP packages to major races.

Team Visma | Lease a Bike is a professional cycling team that can trace its history back to 1984. In 2023 they became the first team in cycling history to win all three Grand Tours in the same season.

Alex de Waard, director of Destination Sport Experiences/Sportive Breaks, is delighted with the partnership, and he says. “To be able to work directly with one of the biggest cycling teams on the planet, to deliver a whole new level of fan experience, is such an exciting development for us at Sportive Breaks. Team Visma | Lease a Bike are rightly proud of their Dutch roots, but we are confident there will be a huge level of demand across the world for these opportunities.”
