Official event pageWhat this race demands
Stelvio Bike Day demands sustained climbing endurance over a steep, continuous mountain pass with significant elevation gain in a short distance.
Continuous climbing
The route gains 1,848 meters of elevation over just 25 kilometers, requiring a high and sustained power output on steep grades without flat recovery sections.
Climbing efficiency
Navigating the iconic hairpin bends demands consistent pacing to manage fatigue and maintain cadence throughout the prolonged ascent.
Given the likely duration of 1.5 to 3 hours, riders should aim for 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour to maintain energy on the continuous climb.
