Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort, just like home

The EOLO Kometa team starts ten days of training camp at the Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort, taking advantage of the exceptional weather conditions of this region and with the exciting news of the renewal of the sponsorship until 2026.

For a team that accumulates more than 140 days of competition throughout the year, in the case of the professional squad, there is nothing more important than rest and the feeling of being at home. With great satisfaction and gratitude, the structure announces the extension of the sponsorship of Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort for four more years.

The magnificent facilities of this hotel resort in the Valencian Community, in the city of Oliva, have been used in recent seasons to host the most intense pre-race moments and training sessions. The days in which cyclists and staff put all their efforts into making the start of the competition a success. The affection, comfort and the way Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort understands how to deal with cyclist has led to a union that has been extended till 2026.

This resort is also a special place. A place that season after season hosts the winter concentrations of the three structures of the Contador Foundation. These are moments in which cyclists and technical staff get together and finalise the details so that each season is even better than the last. It is the opportunity to join forces before splitting up for the team’s various competitions throughout Europe. What better place than our second home, where you can also enjoy an exceptional environment for the necessary training sessions and tests that set the preparations before wearing on the jersey to compete.

Luis Borho, General Manager of Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort: “Oliva Nova is a destination committed to the promotion of sport and, for this reason, we are determined to continue to make a strong commitment to cycling. Sport is perseverance, evolution, competitiveness, personal and collective effort, self-improvement… A list of values that we share and that we believe are essential to be able to improve the service we offer our clients on a daily basis. The Resort brings together several facilities that make it a first class sporting venue: very close to the beach and comprehensive services to solve the desires of the elite athletes who visit us, the mild Mediterranean climate characteristic of the region and, above all, an orography that delights professional cyclists in all its forms. The location of Oliva Nova is privileged because, within a radius of 100 km, we can find routes of all kinds, with moderate traffic and with numerous mountain climbs that are different levels of demand for the cyclist. These are routes where, by the way, the riders of the EOLO – KOMETA Cycling Team train every year during the December and January training camps”.

Fran Contador, general manager of the Contador Foundation: “Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort is the perfect place for our training camps. It is no news that this area of Spain has proven to be ideal, as many cycling teams from all over Europe choose the region to finalise their preparation before the start of the season. Also, for us to be able to be in the perfect facilities is an extra peace of mind. We just focus on working. This makes it much easier for us to organise the whole season. We have been able to enjoy several years already there, the relationship with them goes beyond the sponsorship of the team, with the ‘Gran Fondo Alberto Contador’ which is also organised there. We benefit from their support, their facilities and the magnificent surroundings. But we also seek to give it the notoriety and repercussion it deserves as a place for cycling. We have to value the environment, the facilities (gym, swimming pool, meeting rooms, work area…) and the weather that this place offers us. We are delighted to continue working with them, with a close and simple relationship. The fact of extending the already long-standing agreement allows us to grow and I believe that it is these sponsorships that really work”.
