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.
