Insuring bikes for travel

I have to travel to Spain next month for a race - and have to take 2 bikes with me, both very expensive. Standard travel insurance doesn't cover more than around £2000 for baggage, etc.


How do you get race bikes covered for travel for damage/loss, etc for their full amount?

Thanks!

    Prob. specialist insurance as you are racing. Try asking CTC?

    It's not the racing that I want insurance for - it's just loss or damage in transport.

    And I don't have home cover so can't add it to that.

    Thanks - I checked them earlier and it looks good. Seems to you purchase it on a month to month basis also - and cancel at any time with no penalty, so can use it just for one trip.
