MALLORCA Training with Solestar and Sport Bequi 2018

MALLORCA 2018

This season due to my serious road accident my usual late April training camp had to be cancelled!
Since my operation in mid January and a very good response to my rehabilitation i can now look forward to having a personal Mallorca Training April 16th to May 1st...

Within this time i have teamed up with Solestar and Sport Bequi to hold two days of cycling specific functional testing for Solestar insole fitting. These will be split between Sport Bequi in Arenal and Pollensa...dates and time tbc closer to the time.

So, if you are looking to make a cutting edge improvement with your cycling whether you're a professional or leisure rider, your feet is where you start! All the fancy bikes and Aerodynamic equipment will not do you any good if you are unstable at the point of power transfer...the pedals!

Solestar was developed by Oliver Elesnbach who has established the insoles within many of the Top World Pro Teams who's feedback has always been very positive.

There a 4 types of insoles to meet the requirements of all cycling disciplines>>>



Ergon IP3 SOLESTAR
The Ergon IP3 SOLESTAR convinces with an improved force transmission and comfort for an attractive price.

Solestar Tour
Aimed at enhanced comfort, for the rider who demands a little more flexibility to allow for walking, but still has the stability for power transfer when required

Solestar Kontrol
Excellent stability and comfort for the performance minded cyclist














Solestar Black
Maximum Stability and force transmission, for performance in the racing peleton











Many World Tour riders are now looking to Solestar to give them that extra bit of confidence knowing that with support and stability that Solestars give through it's 'Stabilization Delta' built-in to every pair of insoles.

Here are just a few>>>

Wout van Aert
"With SOLESTAR I am more powerful, especially during sprints and climbs, and my pedal strokes are much straighter than before."
Fabian Cancellara
"A top quality insole! It's really important how the foot fits in the shoe. Perfect with SOLESTAR."
 André Greipel
"SOLESTAR: simply more power on the pedal!"
 Matteo Trentin
"The best insoles!"
Johann Vansummeren
"SOLESTAR gives me really great stability and best comfort. I feel how I can bring more power to the pedal."










Rick Zabel


"I cannot ride without them any more."
