>>1008520>>1008553Thanks, will try those (maybe not the brake, but I'll try the force of will relating to power).
I started a few months ago and I want to try my hands at a L'etape next year, so I have about a year to train.
This would be the segment:
The first stage of L’Étape Brasil by Le Tour de France will have 112km and 2790m of elevation gain.
The cyclists will start in the city of Cunha (SP), at an altitude of 890m, in the direction of the border with Rio de Janeiro state (1.529m).
The first part, with 28km, is mainly ascends.
Check the main ascends of the L’Étape Brasil by Le Tour de France 2015:
1st – ascend coming out of Cunha: 3,9km with 5,07% of mean slope;
2nd – ascend bottom of Pedra da Macella: it’s one of the biggest challenges in this competition. It is 4,4km with 7,34% of mean slope, very similar to the French mountains;
3rd – ascend of the border: the toughest part of the competition. It’s 3,94km and 471m of elevation gain with around 11,95% of mean slope. This part of the competition is very similar to the mountains of the Giro d’Italia and of the Vuelta a España;
4th – ascend coming back to Cunha: The course is mainly descends, having only one short and intense ascend. It’s 2km with 7,75% of mean slope with a short peak of 18%;
5th – ascend of the 4 mountain view: 3,9km with 6,33% of mean slope;
6th – ascend Campos Novos comeback: with 1,4km and 6,93% of mean slope and a maximum of 14%;
7th – final ascend: 1km with 6,2% of mean slope.
It is estimated that the winner completes the race in 3h20min and the last cyclist in 8 hours.
