Difficulty breakdown: This beyond-category climb covers 9.2 km and is demanding because of its high average gradient (8.4%) and its significant elevation gain (775m). The difficulty lies in the uneven profile: after a gradual start, the gradient consistently exceeds 7% from km 1.5 onward, with three critical sections above 11% (km 3.0-3.5 at 11%, km 5.5-6.0 at 12%, and especially km 7.5-8.0 at 15%). The flat section at 0% between km 8.0 and 8.5 is a deceptive break before the final steep effort.
Pacing tips:
1. Find your rhythm from the start: The first kilometres (2-4%) are gentle. Use them to settle into a steady tempo without overestimating your legs.
2. Prepare for the three "walls": Ease off slightly before the 11%, 12% and 15% sections. Keep a high cadence to save your legs.
3. Make the most of the flat: The flat kilometre around km 8.0 gives you a chance to recover and prepare for the final 800m at 8%.
