Mònica Solé, La Massana's councillor for tourism, noted the deep-rooted ties between cycling and the parish, pointing to a mosaic by Sergi Mas in the recently fire-damaged Aigües d'Arinsal factory that depicts cyclists. She described cycling as ingrained in locals' "DNA" and reaffirmed commitment to cycle tourism to position Andorra as a top destination.

Technical director Albert Balcells, whose name was previously reported as Balcells, called the festival "a gateway to the world of cycling" for enthusiasts and newcomers alike. He highlighted its broader appeal, encompassing lived experiences and specific lifestyles beyond just riding, with everyone invited. The weekend will coincide with the Bike Parc d'Arinsal opening and the Clàssica Andorra race, generating a vibrant atmosphere and drawing international attention to La Massana's cycle tourism potential.
