Editor's note: Dr Ferrari often discusses 'VAM'. This stands for Velocita Ascensionale Media [average climbing speed], and is a measure of the rider's rate of ascent. In mountain stages of races such as the Tour, most of the work a rider does goes to overcome gravity, so VAM is a useful indicator of the rider's form on that day.
