Dinamo Travel, the travel department of the now well-known natural supplement brand, is ready to start with DINAMO Xperience, a long weekend to truly feel and live like a professional.
DINAMO Xperience will start from Oliva, Spain, on the Valencian coast. “With its offer of natural supplements it can be said that Dinamo has changed the paradigm of nutritional supplementation for endurance sports. With the same innovative approach, the Varese-based company is preparing to launch its new division dedicated to athletic preparation.
This is what the first lines of the press release say the Oliva event, scheduled from January 12th to 15th. Lines that already say a lot.
Tested for you
We experienced first-hand what it was like a few weeks ago in Jesolo. About You can read the story of that fun three days in Veneto, which will help you understand even better. In that case it was the zero edition, the next one will be the first official edition.
It's a true "like a pro" experience. And indeed, during those days, just as it would be in Oliva, we lived like professionals. And in Oliva you will also live "with" professionals, since the Team will be present Eolo-Kometa for his pre-season retreat.
Nico Valsesia he is part of the Dinamo team, he is responsible for the Xperience Division of the brand which reports to Luca SpadaValsesia is a great athlete. His endurance feats are memorable. Over the years, Nico has shared his experience with enthusiasts, and that's why he too will be present in Oliva.
Nico, so here we go. After the lovely days in Jesolo dedicated to the press, we begin with the public...
That's right, here we are. Compared to the Jesolo test, here we are at full capacity and there will also be the pro team with all the athletes in full force which will give that extra touch. and will truly allow you to live like an athlete. In addition, there will be Iván Basso e Alberto counter. And clearly Luca Spada.
Tell us about the Oliva camp…
The area is ideal for its mild climate, and it's no coincidence that many other teams go on retreat there during that period. You'll have some pleasant encounters! And then... The landscapes are enchanting, with sea, hills, and mountains. There's no shortage of long climbs. We plan to have 90-120 kilometer rides, which will then be customized.
How many people are you expecting? The press release states a maximum of 15 people...
Certainly It's aimed at a select group of enthusiasts. We want to ensure the highest quality of service. We don't want to exceed that number because we want to pedal peacefully and safely, which wouldn't be entirely possible if we were a group of 30 people, for example.
You provide materials, starting with the Aurum bike, but also helmets and glasses that can be purchased. Can I bring my own bike?
Sure, but I don't recommend it. I don't recommend it because this way you can travel without your bike. It won't be damaged during air transport. And you have the wonderful opportunity to ride on the pros' bikes. You can make a comparison, you can take advantage of the setup done by the team mechanics. There will be bikes. Aurum best upright: Shimano Hard Ace Di2 o Sram electronic, wheels To see...
In light of what happened in Jesolo, have you adjusted your focus? And how useful was that first edition?
It helped us a lot. When it comes to paying customers, everything has to work perfectly. That time, it went very well, but it was right to try. You can always improve, and in my philosophy, it's right to be happy, but not overly happy. You always have to give your best... to do better. Compared to Jesolo, there will be more workshops. There will be some on nutrition, obviously, and some on training. (which was not present in Jesolo), but also on the use of devices (Garmin, Suunto…) because not everyone is able to fully exploit its potential. And there will be a workshop with Komoot, The route-planning app. Again, not everyone knows how to make the most of it. Plus, you can download the map of that area for free thanks to a partnership with Komoot. Ivan Basso will also be speaking…
In short, there's a lot to consider. And we can assure you, having experienced them firsthand, that these workshops are truly interesting. But will they be fun, too?
Of course, and this is the part we have implemented the most compared to Jesolo. In Oliva we will stay in a five-star hotel, theOliva Nova Beach Golf ResortThere are an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, a gym, a golf course, and even a riding stable where they hold international show jumping competitions (and Valencia is about an hour's drive away, ed.).
Massages, post-workout uniform cleaning, bike fitting: are these "professional rider" services still available?
Yes, yes… not only that, but there will be full access to the food section in the morning. In addition to supplements, you can also get rice cakes, the ones wrapped in foil, or the sandwiches that riders eat. Lots of little curiosities to "touch with your hands."
Nico, you're a track expert. You planned them in Jesolo too. Will it be the same in Spain?
Yes, for this reason In a few days I'll go to Oliva to do some inspections. There will also be customized routes... like the pros, but we'll go slower! Furthermore, unlike Jesolo, we'll also provide a paper roadbook with all the details and elevation profiles of the rides.
In short, the usual enthusiasm and ambitious goals!
As always! And For the coming year, DINAMO Xperiences are also planned for important stage races, one-day classics and even Grand Tours.
