What Roc d'Azur throws at you
Typical sessions
Sustained off-road climbing: about 2,700m over 102km, climb then descend, repeated for hours
Technical rocky singletrack through the Maures and Estérel, where descending skill is free speed
Mediterranean heat: early October can sit at 25°C+ over a multi-hour race
Congested mass starts from huge festival fields, then off-road fatigue that stacks faster than road distance
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Long technical MTB rides, building from 2.5hr toward a 4-6hr peak on real off-road terrain
Off-road climb intervals: 4-5 x 8-12min at sweet-spot or threshold on the actual climbs
Descending drills: repeated laps of rocky technical descents to bank free time
Heat and Z2 sessions in the final weeks, plus a full race-pace simulation
