Difficulty analysis:
This 6.7 km climb is a serious test, rated Hors Catégorie. The average gradient of 8.6% is steep, but it's the distribution that makes it hard. The first half-kilometre (12%) and the section between 5.5 and 6.0 km (13%) are the key sections, and you'll need to pace them carefully. The last kilometre gives you a bit of a breather at 4%, before the road kicks back up to 8% for the finish.
Pacing tips:
1. Survive the two "walls": Be ready for the steep start (12%) and the 13% section after 5.5 km. Get into an easy gear from the bottom so you don't blow up, and save something for the second big effort.
2. Make the most of the breather: The 4% section between 6.0 and 6.5 km is your chance to recover a little before the final push. Ease off the pressure to bring your heart rate down, but don't slow down too much.
3. Keep a steady rhythm: With the gradient staying between 7% and 10% over most of the climb, find a cadence you can hold comfortably without surges.
