In 2026, Mayflower Gran Prix Cyprus will return for its third edition — this time with a new concept. Cyprus is not simply the setting for the race, but its source of inspiration. Its landscapes, traditions, rhythm of life, and hospitality will shape the character and atmosphere of the event. Participants can look forward to two days of racing and an international cycling community, from first-time racers to experienced athletes.
Our concept is inspired by the most iconic symbols of Cyprus
The Pomos Idol — an ancient sculpture discovered in the Cypriot village of Pomos, dating back to the 30th century BC.
Lefkaritika — the world-famous handmade lace from the village of Pano Lefkara, recognized by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
The nature of Cyprus and its warm, earthy colour palette.
