What training do the racers of tour de France have to do?
I am a competitive cyclist and have followed many cyclists, and used coaches. For many it involves riding for about eight hours a day, this involves hills sprints and other during ride routines. Then there is weight, and/or resistance training. This is mostly quads, and calf workouts but a few arm ones to keep them in order. Most of the weight training is done twice a week like for say Tuesday and Saturday. Hope this helps
