Intervals.icu

Cobbled walls and crosswind

Typical sessions

Short cobbled bergs like the Kemmelberg: all-out anaerobic efforts to around 20 percent, ridden twice on the longer routes.

Unpaved plugstreets that punish tense hands and thin, high-pressure tyres.

Flat, exposed plains where a crosswind splits the field into echelons.

Cold, wet, windy late-March Flanders, typically 4 to 12°C.

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Berg repeats: 8 to 12 reps of 45 to 90s at 130 to 150 percent FTP on a short steep hill, a direct Kemmelberg simulation.

Double-berg pairs: back-to-back efforts with minimal recovery, mirroring a second Kemmelberg ascent on tired legs.

Crosswind group rides practising echelon rotation, plus cobble and gravel handling at race tyre pressure.

A weekly long ride building toward 4 to 4.5 hours, with 6 to 10 short punchy efforts scattered through it.
