Difficulty breakdown: This 24.7 km climb has an unusual profile. The first 4 km are dead flat, followed by a series of irregular gradients (2% to 7%) for most of the route. The real difficulty is concentrated at the end, with a final kilometre at 11% and a closing stretch at 10% over 700 metres, which makes this col demanding both mentally and physically, especially after such a long distance.
Pacing advice:
1. Start easy: Resist the temptation to hammer the first 4 flat km. Use this section to warm up your legs at a sustainable pace.
2. Steady rhythm: Find a consistent cadence to handle the variable gradients between km 4 and 22. Avoid surges by easing off slightly on the 1-3% sections to recover.
3. Save something for the finish: Keep some energy in reserve for the last 3 km, which are the hardest (11%, 7%, 10%). Prepare yourself mentally and physically for this final push.
