What this race demands
This 300 km multi-stage gravel adventure across the Netherlands demands sustained aerobic endurance over three consecutive days of riding.
Multi-stage endurance
Covering 300 km over three days requires the physical capacity to back up consecutive long efforts with minimal accumulated fatigue.
Sustained gravel output
The long-distance format on mixed surfaces demands a high level of muscular durability and efficient pacing to maintain steady power output over many hours.
Aim for 60 to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy reserves during each multi-hour stage.
