What this race demands
Riderman Stage 2 is a challenging 113 km road race through the Black Forest featuring 1,520 meters of climbing, demanding sustained power and climbing endurance over an extended duration.
Climbing volume
The 1,520 meters of elevation gain across the 113 km route requires consistent climbing capability on the Black Forest roads.
Aerobic endurance
Completing a road race of this distance and profile demands high cardiovascular capacity and efficient pacing over several hours.
Group riding efficiency
As a stage road race, athletes must manage their energy expenditure efficiently within the peloton to handle the rolling terrain.
A sustained effort of this duration requires a continuous carbohydrate intake of 60 to 90 grams per hour to maintain energy levels.
