Short stages, real bite
Typical sessions
Four days ranked on one cumulative time, so consistency beats a single big effort.
Steep, punchy climbs: repeated short surges rather than long steady cols.
Rocky, technical descents that punish thin tyres and hesitant lines.
A short, fast final stage you must keep something in the tank to race.
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Punchy climb repeats: 6 to 10 x 2 to 4 min hard on trail climbs.
Long off-road rides: 2.5 to 4 hours on trail with 1,000 to 2,000m of climbing.
Back-to-back MTB weekends: a 3 hr Saturday then a 2.5 hr Sunday on tired legs.
Technical descending drills: repeat rocky descents, working lines and braking.
