What this race demands
Dustman demands sustained power output over a 130 km gravel distance with moderate climbing, requiring strong aerobic endurance and efficiency on loose terrain.
Aerobic endurance
Covering 130 km requires a high level of sustained cardiovascular fitness and the ability to maintain a steady output over many hours in the saddle.
Gravel efficiency
As a UCI Gravel World Series qualifier, the course demands technical proficiency and steady pacing on unpaved surfaces to conserve energy.
Climbing economy
The 840 meters of elevation gain requires efficient climbing technique to manage effort levels across rolling terrain without accumulating excessive fatigue.
Given the duration of a 130 km gravel event, athletes should target an intake of 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy levels and prevent late-race bonting.
