Difficulty breakdown: This 9 km HC climb averages 7%, with 640 m of elevation gain. The real challenge is the uneven profile: several sections at 8-10% (KM 0.5-1.0, 1.5-2.0, 2.5-3.0, and especially KM 7.0-7.5 at 10%) alternate with easier stretches at 4-5%, which breaks your rhythm.
How to manage the effort:
1. Managing the gradient changes: Plan for the three steepest sections (10%). Go easy on the first ones so you still have some reserve in the legs for the last one, near the top.
2. Riding a supple gear: The uneven gradients mean frequent gear changes to keep a steady cadence, especially coming off the flat bits.
3. Breaking up the effort: Use the five sections at 4% as active recovery, easing off slightly before the harder parts.
