About

A race set within the moraine amphitheatre of Ivrea, a geologically unique formation in Europe where glacial hills, lakes and medieval castles of the Canavese define the landscape around the city. Routes of 50, 97 and 140 km with 1,500 metres of elevation offer varied gravel terrain through fields, vineyards and woodland with frequent views of the Serra d'Ivrea. The 50 km option is open to e-bikes, widening access to riders of different abilities. Held in September when temperatures drop and terrain conditions improve, it is a calendar moment well suited to translating accumulated summer training into race performance on a course built around short repeated climbs without high technical difficulty. In Push Training 360, September typically falls within the specificity phase or the tapering block, and the coach calibrates the load in the preceding weeks so the athlete arrives at Ivrea with peak FTP and competition-ready mindset after months of periodised work.
