China National Cycling Team preferred Erciyes for camping

With the investments of Kayseri Metropolitan Municipality, the athletes of the Chinese Cycling National Team, who preferred the Erciyes Ski Center, which has attracted great interest from ski lovers and cyclists in recent years, are saving their strength in the high altitude camp.

We can say that this is the most beautiful high altitude center in Europe. When you sleep at about 2,000 meters, it has a natural doping effect that provides a performance increase. The red cells in the blood increase and take the team to a higher level in terms of performance before the competitions." Expressing that they are currently preparing for the Asian Cycling Championship, Marie stated that they will participate in the races to be held in Erciyes and in Europe later on.

We also have doctors and dietitians in the team. We're having a good training session. We are in a place that can be a rare high altitude training camp center in the world, not only in Europe. In China, I already live at 2,000, 2,200 meters. I think that Erciyes will become the world's leading high-altitude bicycle camping center in the future, with its climate, natural food resources and diversity." Stating that they are preparing for the races intensely, Haoyu said, "Our team is already divided into two. Half of them are in the Slovenia tour, the other half is here. Our main goal is the Olympic points and the Asian Championship."

Çin'de de zaten 2 bin, 2 bin 200 metrede yaşıyorum. Erciyes'in hem iklimi hem doğal besin kaynakları ve farklılıkları ile gelecekte dünyanın sayılı yüksek rakım bisiklet kamp merkezi haline geleceğini düşünüyorum." Haoyu, yoğun şekilde yarışlara hazırlandıklarını belirterek, "Zaten şu an takımımız ikiye bölünmüş halde. Bir kısmı Slovenya turunda, diğer takım burada.
