Emotion was vivid when a major fire broke out at the restaurant "L'Arbre", an iconic establishment located in the heart of the legendary Carrefour de l'Arbre, one of the most mythical cobbled sectors of Paris-Roubaix. Fortunately, no casualties are reported, but the material damage appears considerable.
For cycling enthusiasts from all over the world, the Carrefour de l'Arbre is not just a stretch of cobblestone. It is a place full of history, suffering, glory and emotion. Located in the final kilometers of the Queen of Classics, this sector is often the theater of the decisive attacks that shape the legend of Paris-Roubaix. There are many champions who built their victory there and wrote their names in cycling history.
The Arbre restaurant is an integral part of this heritage. For decades, it has welcomed riders, supporters, journalists and cycling lovers from all over the world to discover this place that has become almost sacred in the universe of Paris-Roubaix.
**The Crossroads of the Tree has crossed generations, weathers and the greatest sporting battles. No doubt that the spirit of this mythical place will also rise from this ordeal.**

This is a truly extraordinary journey, one that promises to be as life‑defining as it is unforgettable. In true Rat Race fashion.

Starting from the beauty of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, across the wildlife‑rich waterways of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, and deep into South Africa’s vibrant interior with its rich cultures and legendary game parks. The route also leads through the mystical kingdom of Eswatini, a jewel of tradition and natural wonder.

Over the 23 days of cycling, its just over 3000km of the most inspiring terrain sub‑Saharan Africa has to offer. This is more than a ride, it’s an adventure.

STAGE 1 / NAMIBIA TO BOTSWANA

In this stage, its into a full serving of high‑quality gravel riding as the route carries us across Namibia’s signature desert & bush terrain. The surface is predominantly compacted gravel with intermittent sections of looser aggregate, requiring steady bike handling and efficient weight distribution through undulating topography. Long, open straights allow for sustained tempo riding, while occasional corrugations and sandy patches demand short bursts of controlled power and quick line‑choice decisions. The landscape is classic Namibian backcountry—wide basins, scattered scrub, and gently rising plateaus that offer huge visibility and a constant sense of progression. Covering the country over six consecutive days of riding adds a real sense of scale to the challenge; with every stage, the changing texture of the terrain and the gradual shift in ecosystem as they push toward the border. It’s an exhilarating and technically engaging introduction to the first country on our multi‑country traverse.

STAGE 2 / BOTSWANA TO SOUTH AFRICA

This stage offers a welcome shift in rhythm into smoother, faster riding on well‑maintained tarmac, allowing the riders to efficiently cover some big distances. The paved sections invite consistent cadence work and pacing, with very gentle rolling gradients that reward riders who manage their power output over longer stretches. Interspersed along the route are exceptional accommodation stops that elevate the experience beyond the riding itself—from authentic bush lodges to memorable camping setups in remote settings. One of the standout nights is to a dedicated rhino sanctuary, where the camp is positioned within conservation land, creating a rare opportunity to rest surrounded by active wildlife protection efforts. The combination of smooth road miles and thoughtfully curated overnight locations makes this stage both technically efficient and uniquely immersive.

STAGE 3 / SOUTH AFRICA TO ESWATINI

This stage marks one of the most beautiful and physically demanding sections of the route. They ride through designated game reserves, the terrain transitions between compact gravel, hard‑packed dirt, and long, sustained climbs that define the profile of this phase. These ascents require pacing, careful power management, and focused bike handling as gradients shift and surfaces vary beneath the tyres. The climbing effort is balanced by the extraordinary setting. As riders will adjust priorities as wildlife appears across open plains and bush corridors, turning the days into a true “safari on wheels.” Despite the elevation gain, the sensation is more awe than exertion. To support recovery from the accumulated climbing load, there is an exceptional rest‑day location with this stage—chosen for comfort and location it is a great environment to recharge before tackling the next segment.

The final push delivers the greatest sense of both achievement and physical challenge, as this section contains some of the route’s most sustained uphill work. After dipping wheels into Eswatini, the route climbs steadily back toward the South African border, following a series of long, graded ascents. These uphill stretches are paired with smoother tarmac and rolling rural dusty roads, allowing for efficient climbing while maintaining rhythm and stability. As the route crests and begins to trend downward, the environment shifts—the air grows heavier with coastal humidity and the first hints of ocean breeze signal that the Indian Ocean is drawing near. The journey concludes at a collection of stunning beach lodges, offering an unforgettable setting to celebrate. It’s a technically satisfying and emotionally resonant finale, culminating with the coastline appearing like a well‑earned reward.

**BiciSport @ Majorca 312 Gran Fondo @ 25 Apr - Dudley Hoskin before the Majorca 312**
**The Majorca 312 is a hefty 312k Gran Fondo with over 5,000 metres of climbing.**
In Dudley’s words … it was a very hard race. There were no pacemakers like the 3 Peaks Challenge (at Falls Creek). The small groups were all attacking each other with the really fast riders coming through from behind. The descents are all technical with switch backs. I rescued a skid on one corner but came off on another (flat corner on a farm road with some gravel). I knew I was over the limit on the climbs but wanted to see what happened.
Very fatigued over the last 70k on the hills and was dropping back through the groups. But that was my race plan and happy with how it went. Great fun though and a massive celebration of riding … bit like the Tour of Bright but on steroids . Where else would they close 312k of roads over 14 hours. Majorca is a “must do” cycle trip.

In Flanders Episode 2 BiciSport sponsored the Belgian Junior race in the village of Velle some 20k from Antwerp in East Flanders on Saturday 21 March. This was the third year of the BiciSport sponsorship of the Junior event. The Velle race is organised by the VerHulst family and the race attracted 115 Juniors over the 65k distance. Conditions were delightful (meaning no rain, no cloud & little wind).

The following day (on 22 March) BiciSport attended the Monsere Grand Prix in the city of Roeselare for the 200k professional event. Again delightful weather and great racing. The race started in Ichtegem and finished in Roeselare. Dylan Groenwegen (Team Rockets) took the sprint victory.
