A private 100-kilometer course and a 4:30 clock leave no room for wasted work
L'Étape Mysuru by Tour de France runs 100 kilometers with 763 meters of climbing on a timed, privatized road course. The October 4 race starts at 6:00 a.m., restricts the competitive route to road bikes, and publishes a 4-hour-30-minute cutoff with intermediate control points. With only six weeks left, this plan prioritizes reliable tempo, repeatable rolling-road efforts, fueling, and the ability to keep moving inside the official clock.
For the rider with only six weeks left and five to nine hours a week, this rescue plan sharpens economical road speed, rolling-road repeatability, cutoff-aware pacing, fueling, and late-race durability around the fitness already in place without pretending to replace a full build.
INSIDE THE SAVE MY RACE PLAN — 5–9 HR/WK
Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat protocols for when your race calls for them, peloton skills workouts, and nutrition and hydration guidance.

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
