Best Answer

Professional cyclists train between 20-35 hours per week and race on average 100-120 days per year. The trend in the 21st century has seen teams lessen the amount of racing days per rider in a year, so quite often a pro will only do 70-80 race days now. In contrast Eddy Merckx during the 1960-70's would race 150 days a year and it was normal for some others to do upwards of 200 days a year. This would include road races, as well as maybe some track events and occasionally some winter time cyclo cross events.

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
