The numbers lie. Around 100 to 117km and 1,700m of climbing sounds like a gentle day out in the vineyards. Packed into short walls that hit 19%, it is anything but.

The course

The route

A capped field of 2,500 riders starts and finishes in Valdobbiadene, looping the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene vineyard hills on fully closed roads. The elevation is spread across a string of short steep muri and constant rollers, not one big climb.

Intervals.icu

Short walls, one after another

Typical sessions

Short savage vineyard walls, several of them, at 12 to 19% rather than one long col

Repeated 3 to 8 minute efforts above threshold, back to back with little recovery

The Muro di Ca' del Poggio: around 1.1km at 12.7%, ramping to 19%

Tight, sometimes wet vineyard descents between the climbs to stay sharp on

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Steep hill repeats: 6 to 8 by 3 to 4min on a 10 to 15% climb at 105 to 115% FTP

Repeatability sets: 6 to 10 by 2 to 4min at VO2, short recovery, holding power across the whole set

Over-unders: 4 to 5 by (2min at 105% / 3min at 90%) to surge and recover on the fly

A 3.5 to 4.5hr hilly long ride, building to a race simulation with the muri ridden hard

Not a generic schedule
