← All eventsVuelta a Ibiza MTB
Large (~1,000-rider) 3-stage island MTB stage race crossing Ibiza top to bottom — ~201km / ~5,100m over three days of tough climbs, technical descents, and sustained-pedalling sections. Cumulative GC. Date approximate.
Three days, one island, crossed top to bottom. Around 201km and 5,100m of off-road climbing over three timed stages, decided on cumulative time. Early April on Ibiza, based out of Sant Antoni de Portmany.
Stage 1 is the longest at roughly 74km and sets the GC tone. The middle stage turns technical through crop fields, hills and pine forest. Stage 3 is shorter and decisive out on the coast.
A long-running Balearic tradition with a field near 1,000 riders. No single hero day wins it. The rider who backs up three consecutive stages, and descends the technical trails cleanly, takes the GC.
Is Vuelta a Ibiza MTB for you?
- Riders who back up day after day. The GC is decided on cumulative time across three consecutive stages, so repeatability beats one big performance.
- Confident descenders. The technical, dizzying descents hand back time to anyone who reads a line and commits within their skill.
- Steady tempo engines. The long sustained-pedalling sections through the fields reward rhythm and even power, not surges.
- Anyone chasing a spring stage race in the sun. A large, well-supported event in mild Mediterranean April.

A training plan for Vuelta a Ibiza MTB isn't a generic base build. Beina reads the event's exact demands, looks at your specific profile and the time you actually have, and maps a highly adapted plan to the start line.
- Three consecutive stages, roughly 67km and 1,700m each on average, decided on cumulative time
- Tough island climbs, both sustained and punchy, all on off-road surfaces
- Technical descents over rock and roots that reward clean lines and robust tyres
- Long sustained-pedalling sections through crop fields and pine forest where rhythm matters
- Long off-road rides of 2.5 to 4 hours with 1,200 to 2,000m climbing, for opening-stage durability and fuelling practice
- Sustained trail climbs: 3 to 4 by 15 to 25 minutes at threshold on a climb
- Back-to-back MTB weekends: a 3.5 hour Saturday then a 2.5 hour Sunday, racing on tired legs
- Sustained tempo blocks of 2 to 3 by 20 to 30 minutes, plus weekly technical descending repeats
- Built from your current fitness and the time you actually have
- Adapts every week as Beina learns how you respond
- Syncs your sessions straight to Garmin and Wahoo
