It might feel far away, but a strong 2026 season starts today. Great performances don’t happen by chance — they come from good planning, smart decisions, and, most of all, starting on time.
1. Plan your rides
Do you want to tackle one big granfondo next year, or a series of shorter rides?
By deciding what your goals are now, you can train with purpose.
Climbs on the horizon? Start working on your climbing power.
Flat routes ahead? Focus on rhythm and endurance.
2. Learn to plan smartly
The better you prepare, the more confident and relaxed you’ll be on the start line.
Use the Pacing Sticker not just on race day, but also during your preparation:
-
Map out distance, climbs, and feed zones.
-
Structure your training around the intensity of each section.
-
Test your nutrition and pacing strategy.
3. Eat and drink like you ride
Nutrition isn’t a last-minute detail — it’s a habit.
Use your training rides to find out:
-
How often you need to drink.
-
Which gels or bars your stomach tolerates best.
-
When your energy levels drop and when to refuel.
The Pacing Sticker helps you see exactly when to eat and drink — but it only works if your body is already used to the rhythm.
4. Make preparation a ritual
Winter isn’t a break; it’s an opportunity.
Check your gear, plan your routes, and test your nutrition strategy now,
so that in 2026, you won’t just hope for a good season — you’ll know you’re ready for one.
💡 Tip: Start today — create your first pacing sticker for one of your 2026 goals.
Once you visualize your route, the season starts to take shape.
