What this race demands

The Dolomitenradrundfahrt requires sustaining a steady output across 112 kilometers and 1,870 meters of climbing through the Lienz Dolomites.

Climbing volume

Accumulating 1,870 meters of elevation over 112 km demands consistent climbing efficiency and the ability to pace efforts on sustained ascents.

Aerobic endurance

The multi-hour duration of a cycling marathon places a heavy demand on aerobic capacity and fat-carbohydrate utilization.

Muscular durability

Repeated climbing and descending cycles require strong legs and core stability to maintain posture and power output over the entire route.

A target intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour is recommended to sustain energy levels across the multi-hour duration of the ride.
