The Cyprus Sunshine Cup is one of the most famous Mountainbike Series in the UCI Calendar. It takes place every year in the early season. Cyprus Sunshine Cup races have been organized for more than 20 years, with the first race taking place in 1997. The races were under different names and were not in a form of series. Since 2006, the races were renamed to “Cyprus Sunshine Cup” which is an official series in the UCI calendar.
Stages 2 and 3 are undergoing some changes. “We already are well known as a destination for professionals, but Cyprus in general and the stage 1 of the cup (Afxentia) in special are also attractive for amateur riders”, Mike Hadjioannou explains the goal. The CEO, his company and also the Cyprus Cycling Federation are still owning passionate commitment for the series, motivated to present the islands beauties to mountain bikers from all over the world.
On March 5, on stage 2 of the race (Amathous), one very special attraction will be offered by the race course in Amathous/Agios Tychon. The venue at the sea side between the ancient ruins will return into the 2017 Cyprus Sunshine Cup.
The lap is quite demanding, physically and technically, but most of the riders likes it. The environment compensates the pain in the legs.
