Despite the insistence of the pandemic, which already in 2021 failed to stop the island’s sporting life, Ibiza is positioned once again as a key place for sport. “We want to show that Ibiza is sport. We want people to enjoy Ibiza through the experience of a sporting event”, said the Minister of Sports, Salvador Losa, who added that “these eight tests have nothing to envy to those that are made at a national and international level”.
In addition, Ibiza stands out for its excellent connections with the rest of Europe, so, as the President of the Consell d’Eivissa has stated, “there is no excuse not to enjoy the events organized on the island”.The athletes haven’t skimped on praise for the island either: “I’m really looking forward to making my debut, because both colleagues and fans have spoken wonderful things to me both on a sporting level and on a tourist level”, commented Sara Pérez, after mentioning that she had never before visited the island. For his part, Óscar Pereiro has highlighted the warm welcome that the residents of Ibiza gave him during the cycling tour three years ago and has not hesitated to state that “the Ibiza BTT tour is a historic event, a pioneer in Spain. Ibiza is the return of returns”.
