What the course asks of you
The Prosecco hills are short and steep, rows of vines on slopes that the roads climb directly, one after another, with little flat between them.
Repeated short, steep climbs: low gears, seated climbing, and an even effort on each one.
How to prepare
The general shape of a good preparation, which Event Coach turns into a plan for your fitness, time and date:
- Train repeated climbs: several efforts of 8 to 15 minutes close to your threshold, with short recoveries, copy the rhythm of the Gran Fondo Prosecco Cycling.
- Build the long ride towards 100 km, so the final climbs are not the first time your legs have been out that long.
- Add a few short efforts at low cadence on steep gradients, for the ramps that come late in the day.
Pacing mistakes to avoid
The mistakes that cost riders the most on a day like this:
- Answering every climb of the Gran Fondo Prosecco Cycling with a surge: repeated climbs reward an even effort, not a burst on each ramp.
- Spending the most on the famous climb when the hardest part of the day is still to come.
- Letting the pace of the group on the flat decide how tired you arrive at the climbs.
