Difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb is demanding because of its high average gradient (9.1%) and its sharp variations. The sections above 13% (km 2.0-2.5, km 2.5-3.0, km 4.0-4.5), and especially the km 6.5-7.0 section at 19%, are major obstacles that break your rhythm.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Ride the first three kilometers, which are fairly mild (5-9%), within yourself so you save energy for the first series of steep ramps (12-13%) and the final wall.
2. Staying in control on the critical sections: On the 14% and 19% stretches, stay seated to keep traction and use a gear that lets you control your heart rate.
3. Active recovery: Make the most of the short flat sections (km 3.0-3.5 at 4% and km 7.0-7.5 at 5%) to ease off the pressure briefly and get your breathing back under control before what's next.
