Firstly, at the start of the day, set your riders to maintain 80 at the front of the group. Protect your best climber with ur 4th best climber and your 2nd climber with your third. Never get water up a climb. What I like to do is to wait until the last km of a climb before sending my rider back to get water.
Now to the final climb:
1. Protect your main guy with your next best climber.
2. Set your rider on individual effort at a pace that will make you both lead the group and not tire tour riders out.
3. Energy gel for protector.
4. When he favourites attack, set your rider on free effort around 82-85, normally 84 does the job.
5. Once your protector drops use your energy gel
6. Once the favourites are reeled in, you have three options:
1. Keep the tempo high (82-85) to drop the favourites. This should be done if your rider has a good resistance advantage over the others
2. Attack until you have a break then free effort to the end (82-85). This should be done if your rider has a good acceleration advantage over the others.
3. Reduce speed to keep pace until the finish. This should be done if your rider is weak compared to the others.
By following these steps, you allow the favourites to blow themselves up before you deliver the killer blow, be it acceleration or high tempo.
I hope this helps. Also, never attack on 2nd to last or 3rd to last climb. Instead, free effort with you 4th rider protecting your favourite until you reach the favourite group then maintain pace. Attacking them here is a waste of energy as you will likely be reeled in on the downhill, allow them to do the work to keep away from the peleton. Keep your no. 2 rider protected in the peleton so that you have a guy to help for the final climb if you are caught.Home | Submit a new Tip & Trick
You advice not to attack on earlier climbs. Does it makes any sense to make such an attack, but in special conditions? Position decent climber with strong flat and downhill in the break or even two of them (let's say Tony Martin) and attack with your leader/outsider in the way that on top of the climb he catches the helpers, who then protect him until the last climb at least. Something like Andy Shleck in 2011 TdF Galibier stage
@Cossack: It does work. But your domestique up front usually won't be much of a help sadly when you let him protect your leader. I rather like to let him do a dot effort he can maintain a bit with my leader in his wheel. Then you can really get an advantage out of that.
By the way, if one of your domestiques has a good downhill and its just /\/ with no flat in between, you can also let your domestique and your leader attack. As long as the leader does not work at all, you can't lose much. Either you get some decent gap and try to go all the way with the leader then or you just let yourself reel back in, but then you haven't lost much.
Well, that shouldn't be too hard to test. Perhaps it was already done by sobrano, but I'm not sure. Anyway: edit the stats of two riders so that they are exactly the same; disable all stuff that could change such as random fitness and daily form; enter a stage, get those two riders to ride dot 15, side by side, wait for an intermediate sprint and click sprint on both of them, changing one's effort to 3 f.e. and the other to 99. I just tested this, and they both accelerated exactly the same Wink.
