The course

The route

A flat, fast course of roughly 110km or 60km in recent editions (historically up to ~155km), on largely closed city and regional roads with around 500m of climbing. Wind, not gradient, shapes the day, and one of the biggest fields in cycling means the right group at the right time decides everything.

What the day throws at you
Typical sessions
A frantic city start: a positioning battle from the gun across bridges and crowded streets
Hours of sustained aerobic pace in a fast bunch, sharing turns and sitting in the draft
Exposed regional roads where crosswinds can shatter the field into echelons
Repeated surges out of corners and over the short Waseberg, then a fast, nervous sprint finish
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
2x20min at threshold and over-unders for the raw sustainable power to hold the bunch
VO2 repeats (6-8 x 3min) and micro-surges (30s hard / 30s easy) to cover selections
Punchy hill reps, 8-12 x 45-60s hard on a short rise, to rehearse the Waseberg
A weekly fast group ride or chaingang: the highest-value, most race-specific session you can do
