U23 and Elite Development Camp
April 13th to June 14th, 2015 — Cost: €1999 euros
2016 will see us run our U23 and Elite development camp for 9 weeks of intense spring time racing in Belgium. This camp is open to all men 19 years racing age and older. All riders should have a high level of fitness and should be ready to compete in top level international races with distances of up to 180km and fields as large as 200 riders. The cost will include food on UCI/Interclub race nights, planned group activities, two sets of team kit, support in two to three races a week depending on schedule and personal consultation with Gregg on your racing once a week. We will also be leading training and skills sessions throughout the development camp. This trip is perfect if you would like to come to Belgium and gain fitness before returning home for your national championships. The planned schedule is for:
- up to 6 Interclub – UCI level races (when we are accepted, races will be added here)
- another 15 to 18 kermis races
- potential for a stage race if the team is accepted
You can read a recap of our 2015 Development Camp. Our 2016 Cycling Development Camp will be even better than the previous year as we will be requesting race participation earlier than for 2015 and have already been accepted and/or asked to return to large races for 2016.
If you are interested in racing for less than the 9 weeks we have a few limited spots available. Priority will be given to those who wish to stay longer and we charge €280 per week for stays more than 4 weeks and €320 per week for stays less than one month for the devo camp.
