Climb analysis: At 8.2 km with an average gradient of 12%, this climb is extremely demanding. The difficulty lies in the string of very steep sections, notably four stretches at 18-19% (KM 3.0-4.5 and KM 5.5-6.0) and a finish at 15-16%. KM 6.5-7.0 at 2% is the only real breather.
Pacing advice:
1. Find your rhythm from the start: The first few kilometres (0-3 km) are easier (3-16%). Use them to settle into a sustainable rhythm without burning matches before the critical sections.
2. Anticipate the "walls": Ease off slightly before the 18-19% sections (around KM 3, KM 4 and KM 5.5) to save your legs and keep your cadence up.
3. Make the most of the breather: The flat 2% stretch (KM 6.5-7.0) is key for recovering and tackling the steep finish (KM 7.0-8.2) with energy in reserve.
