What the day throws at you
Typical sessions
A ~12km climb to Alpe Tedesco straight off the start, before the legs are warm
Repeated punchy climbs on Morosolo and Casciago that hit already-tired legs, with no flat to recover
A fast closed-road group forcing a high, sustained pace across 4 to 6 hours
Technical paved descents, possibly wet in autumn, where skill holds your position
What your weeks look like
Typical sessions
Threshold repeats: 4-5 x 8-12min at 95-105% FTP, holding power on the last rep
Over-unders: 3-4 x (2min at 105% / 2min at 90%) on a climb, for surging efforts
Climb-descend-climb: 5-6 x (5-8min hard climb plus descent recovery) over a hilly loop
A 4-5hr endurance ride with ~2,000m of climbing, fully race-fuelled
