Every year that we take take part, our riders fall in love with this amazing country both on and off the bike: the roads & rider support, 4/5* hotels & food, people & culture wrapped up in the RAP team's passion for their country are undeniable. With rider numbers limited for the event, you will feel that personal touch from start to finish.
