The Mallorca 140.6 Triathlon and ROUVY have teamed up – adding a virtual digital offering to the event, which will be held in Playa de Muro, Mallorca, Spain on September 25, 2021.
ROUVY has also become the digital partner of the race and the official online platform for its participants.
The cycle leg of the Mallorca 140.6 Triathlon encompasses 90km or 180km route options – taking in traditional Mediterranean and Balearic villages such as Muro, Santa Margalida, Maria de la Salut, Sineu, Llubi, Sa Pobla and Alcudia. The bike course is now available via ROUVY’s virtual indoor cycling platform to all users.
David Thompson, Mallorca 140.6 Triathlon Race Director, said “This cooperation is based on the same sport values: passion, back to the origins of this sport and also bringing to the athletes all the digital tools and the use of technology to improve their experience and their performance.
“Even if they don’t know the course in advance, they will start enjoying it at home training on the ROUVY platform.”
The cooperation starts with the announcement of the MALLORCA 140.6 Triathlon Challenge on ROUVY to ‘demo the beauty of the Balearic archipelago’. All finishers of this virtual event on ROUVY in the time-trial mode are eligible for the chance to win one of prizes up for grabs:
- 2x event entry and accommodation for 3 nights, double room
- 2x full distance entry
- 2x half distance entry
Registration for the virtual cycling challenge is now open. To enter the prize draw, the time trial should be completed by December 6, 2020.
‘Mallorca 140.6 also aims to become an international benchmark in drafting control on the bike course. A series of very strict measures will be in place to avoid illegal drafting and cycling in a peloton.
‘A high number of officials and referees will be scattered around the course throughout the competition to guarantee that each and every participant will ride the one loop of 89km without cycling in the slipstream of another.’
In addition, next year’s real-world event will feature a ‘Vintage’ category for triathletes who participate with equipment from the 80s and 90s, emulating the pioneers of the sport.
