Self-Sponsored Athletes · Global Cycling
You fund your passion. We handle the rest. End-to-end logistics for self-sponsored cyclists competing in events around the world.
Who We Are
Nomad Sports Travel exists for one kind of athlete: the self-sponsored cyclist who refuses to wait for a sponsor to say yes. You've invested in your own equipment, your own training, and your own ambition. We invest in getting you to the start line.
From race entry and visa paperwork to bike freight, flights, and accommodation at the event venue — we eliminate every logistical barrier between your front door and the finish line, wherever in the world it is.
The Process
Browse our calendar of supported cycling events worldwide. Tell us which race you want to enter and we'll build your personalised travel plan.
Pick the level of support you need — from essential logistics to a fully managed concierge experience. All packages designed for self-funded athletes.
Visas, race entry, flights, bike freight, accommodation, race pack collection, and race day support — all coordinated by our team on your behalf.
Arrive focused, rested, and ready. Your bike is prepped and waiting. The only thing left is to race. No red tape, no stress, no distractions.
What We Handle
International and domestic flight coordination, routing, and booking. We find athlete-friendly itineraries that protect your legs and minimise fatigue before race day.
Professional bike packing, airline clearance, customs documentation, and return shipping. Your machine arrives ready to race and returns home unscathed.
Cyclist-focused hotels near the race venue with secure bike storage, high-protein catering options, and recovery-oriented facilities.
We manage your full race entry — applications, entry fees, timing chip activation, race pack collection, and all official documentation and athlete check-in.
End-to-end visa support for any destination, including invitation letters, proof of participation, embassy liaison, and athlete-specific travel documentation.
On-the-ground support crew for warm-up logistics, feed zone coordination, mechanical assistance, finish line assistance, and post-race recovery support.

Rider Stories
I'd wanted to do the Cape Town Cycle Tour for years but the logistics felt impossible from Nairobi. Nomad Sports Travel sorted everything — visa, flights, bike freight. I just showed up and rode the best race of my life.
My Cervélo arrived in Johannesburg perfectly packed, customs cleared, assembled and waiting at the hotel. For a self-funded rider like me, that level of service felt like having a pro team behind me.
Four of us self-sponsored riders went to the 947 Challenge together. Every detail was managed — flights, a hotel with bike storage, race kits, race day support. We felt like a professional team, on an amateur budget.
