Stories behind the data
With the Athletica engine, race analysis reaches a whole new level of insight 🚀.
Take, for example, this Athletica Workout Reserve (WR) analysis for the 2nd stage of the 40th Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali 2025.
🤨 WHAT the hell is a Workout Reserve?
WR is a powerful metric that reveals how close a cyclist is to their Maximal Mean Power (MMP). Expressed as a percentage, WR ranges from 100% (fully fresh) to 0% or less (maximum exceeded). Throughout a race, WR naturally fluctuates but trends downward overall, providing crucial insights for timing attacks, managing fatigue, and making strategic decisions in the peloton.
🚴 WHAT can I use it for?
By visualizing WR in real time, Athletica empowers athletes to optimize their performance while coaches fine-tune race strategies to maximize every rider’s potential.
The stage
Among those who excelled on this demanding stage was Alessandro Pinarello of VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè, who finished 13th in the stage and, after the stage, it was 13th in the general classification, just 18 seconds behind the new leader Paul Double (Jayco Alula).
