Climb difficulty analysis: This climb has a demanding profile, with an average gradient of 13.4% over almost 12 km. The difficulty lies in the combination of length and consistently steep gradients, notably a kilometer at 17% (KM 5.0-6.0) and an extreme finale at 20% over the last 900 meters.
How to manage your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The first kilometers (9-12%) are already tough. Don't go out too hard, so you save something in the tank for the critical sections.
2. Prepare for the 17% kilometer: Reach KM 5.0-6.0 with your effort well managed. It's the steepest section before the finale, so a suitable gear is crucial.
3. Save something for the end: The gradient goes above 20% on the last segment. Even after the relative "breather" of KM 6.0-9.0 (8-9%), get ready to empty the tank in the final push.
