Memories and gifts: team albums and framed prints

How Mallorca Road Pics captures and delivers originals

We operate a repeatable, transparent workflow from on-road shooting to instant download so buyers know what to expect and photographers understand standards.

On-road coverage: scheduled climbs and event days

• Regular coverage on Mallorca’s iconic climbs (Sa Calobra, Cap de Formentor, Puig Major) throughout the cycling season.
• Dedicated teams during major events like Mallorca 312 and training-camp weeks.
• Photo rigs and experienced locations scouts ensure consistent frames where cyclists gather and traffic is safe to manage.

Our photographers are UCI-accredited sports photographers, former editorial staff photographers and experienced cycling shooters with an average of 8+ years shooting on-road cycling. They follow safety and editorial protocols to capture decisive moments while respecting ride safety and local regulations.

Photo selection and quality control process

• Immediate culling on-site for obvious rejects (motion blur, obstructed faces).
• Studio-level quality control (QC) where editors review exposure, focus, composition and legal clearances.
• Images failing technical QC are discarded; selected images proceed to color correction and metadata tagging.

QC steps include:

• Auto and manual focus check
• Exposure and highlight recovery
• Color balancing and lens profile correction
• Metadata verification (time, GPS, photographer credit)

Searchable climb map and gallery workflow

• Each image is geo-tagged and assigned to the climb and approximate segment for fast searchability.
• The interactive climb map (/climb-map) lets riders filter by climb, date, event and photographer.
• Galleries are organized by climb, day and event with thumbnails that load quickly for easy browsing.

Instant download: file delivery and formats

• After purchase you get immediate access to full-resolution downloads from your account.
• Files are delivered via secure HTTPS links with resumable downloads and optional email delivery.
• Standard delivery: high-resolution JPEGs ready for print; TIFF available on request for editorial/archival needs.

Licensing, usage rights and image specifications

Purchasing an image includes clear, practical licensing and technical specifications so you can use images confidently.

Personal vs commercial licenses explained

• Personal License: Intended for personal use — social sharing, prints, personal gifts, non-commercial blogs.
• Commercial License: Required for marketing, sponsorship assets, paid social ads, promotional campaigns or any commercial activity.

Select the appropriate license at checkout. Our licensing chooser will outline permitted uses and examples to reduce uncertainty.

Allowed uses: social, print, commercial/marketing

• Personal License allows unlimited social and print use for non-commercial purposes.
• Commercial License allows marketing, sponsor activation and paid advertising. Attribution requirements (if any) are shown at purchase.
• For complex uses (resale of images, stock redistribution), contact support for extended licensing.

Image specs: resolution, DPI and file formats

• Standard downloads are high-resolution JPEGs at 300 DPI, suitable for high-quality prints up to large-format sizes depending on the camera used.
• Megapixel size depends on the camera body (most images are 20–50MP from professional full-frame or medium-format rigs).
• TIFF and RAW exports available on request for editorial clients or bulk orders.

EXIF data, editing rights and attribution

• Downloads include basic EXIF metadata (camera, focal length, exposure) and GPS coordinates where permitted.
• Minor edits (crop, color correction) are allowed. Major retouching (face alterations or staged composites) may require photographer approval or an extended license.
• Attribution to the photographer is appreciated and often required for editorial use; commercial licenses will state attribution obligations.

How to find your ride fast on the site

Finding your images quickly makes the purchase process painless. Use these step-by-step tips to go from search to download.

Search by climb, date and event (Sa Calobra, Cap de Formentor, Puig Major)

• Start with the climb name and event date: e.g., “Sa Calobra — 2026-04-12”.
• If you rode during a major event (Mallorca 312), select the event filter to narrow results.
• Use our quick filters for popular climbs: Sa Calobra, Cap de Formentor, Puig Major.

Use the interactive map and GPS timestamps

• Open the interactive climb map (/climb-map) and zoom to where you rode.
• Use the time slider to match the moment you passed a location — images are timestamped to GPS seconds.
• If you have a Garmin or Strava activity, sync or reference the time to improve accuracy.

Identify yourself: bib numbers, jersey colours and group filters

• Filter by bib or race number where applicable.
• Use jersey colour, team name or helmet type filters to reduce clutter when many riders appear in the same frame.
• Tag teammates and favourite images to make a team purchase easier.

Tips for when you can’t find a photo

• Double-check time zone differences: camera timestamps are in local Mallorca time.
• Widen the search window by ±30 minutes and expand the map radius.
• If still not found, contact support with ride details (date/time, approximate location, jersey description and Strava/GPS link) for manual assistance — use /support.

Quick checklist before contacting support:

• Exact date and approximate time of the ride (local time)
• Climb and segment name (Sa Calobra, Cap de Formentor, Puig Major)
