00:02 Part of the Balearic Islands,
00:06 just off the east coast of Spain, this is Mallorca.
00:10 You got an amazing view to the sea,
00:14 and it's just in a perfect place in the world
00:18 to come here to ride your bike.
00:21 It's a rider's paradise,
00:23 and one I'm lucky enough to call my home.
00:28 I'm Vicente Reines, an ex-professional road cyclist.
00:32 We have a thousand of bike riders
00:35 coming each year to Mallorca,
00:37 but when they leave, we have our roads to enjoy,
00:40 and I'm gonna show you those roads
00:42 and the best places on the island.
00:44 But now it's time to show you
00:47 one of the secrets from this island.
00:55 I'm going to look at its rich cycling history.
00:58 Look at this place, it's absolutely incredible.
01:00 Can you imagine that the pioneers of racing
01:03 were here as early as over a century ago?
01:06 It's just incredible really.
01:07 Unique Balearic culture.
01:10 Frit is actually the blood of the pig,
01:13 and I will meet some of the island's
01:15 most exciting personalities.
01:18 It's a privilege for me to be here
01:20 and to be able to do this sport,
01:22 to dedicate myself to this sport.
01:23 This is the bottom of the island's
01:27 most famous climb, Sacalobra.
01:29 We suffer more here than in the race.
01:34 This was unbelievable.
01:36 It makes perfect sense how this island
01:41 has become a true cycling heartland.
01:44 It's one of the best places in the world
01:47 because they have so much respect from all the cars,
01:50 everyone on the road.
01:51 It makes the island, as I say,
01:54 the Mecca of cycling.
