Sportive Breaks Partners with Team Visma | Lease a Bike to Offer Exclusive Fan Experiences

Cycling travel experts Sportive Breaks have announced an exciting new partnership with Team Visma | Lease a Bike, the world’s most successful cycling team. This exclusive collaboration will provide fans with unparalleled access to some of the biggest races on the cycling calendar.

Fans will now have the opportunity to experience life inside the team hotel, ride on the team bus, and even be part of the action during races. Imagine being right there as Wout van Aert battles for victory in a cobbled classic or handing out bottles to Jonas Vingegaard as he aims for another Tour de France title. Sportive Breaks and Team Visma | Lease a Bike will make these dreams a reality.

The partnership covers an extensive list of races, including all five Monuments, all three Grand Tours, numerous spring classics, major stage races like Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico, and a host of major Women’s WorldTour races. The deal extends until 2028, ensuring fans have plenty of opportunities to engage with the sport.

In addition to watching the races, fans can participate in ‘ride and watch’ events, where they can take part in the race’s sportive one day and watch the race the next, fully supported by the team. There will also be chances to join the riders at selected pre-season training camps, offering a taste of professional cycling life.

Sportive Breaks, established in 2015, has built a reputation as a leading cycling travel company, known for organizing trips to Europe’s biggest Gran Fondos, riding holidays, and VIP packages to major races.

Team Visma | Lease a Bike, a professional cycling team with roots dating back to 1984, made history in 2023 by winning all three Grand Tours in the same season.

Alex de Waard, director of Destination Sport Experiences/Sportive Breaks, expressed his excitement about the partnership: “To work directly with one of the biggest cycling teams on the planet and deliver a whole new level of fan experience is such an exciting development for us. 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.”

Sander Kruis, Commercial Director of Team Visma | Lease a Bike, added, “We are a team with a global fan base. Therefore, it is great to collaborate with Destination Sport. This way, we can offer even better experiences to our fans, making them truly part of our team and the action.”

Brendan Fox, Managing Director of Destination Sport Experiences, also commented: “This collaboration with Team Visma | Lease a Bike is a wonderful opportunity to elevate our service and provide our customers with exclusive and unforgettable cycling experiences. We look forward to working together and sharing our passion for cycling with fans worldwide.”
