Difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb has a progressive difficulty. The first three kilometres at 5% give you a chance to warm up, but the gradient ramps up sharply from KM 3 to KM 8 with a brutal stretch (9% to 11%) over almost 5 km, which is the heart of the effort. The finish is more manageable (7% to 5%), but at 10.8 km in total, this is a demanding ascent.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Managing your effort in the middle section: Don't get carried away by the relatively easy start. Tackle the 9-11% section (KM 3 to 8) at a steady, sensible power output to avoid blowing up.
2. Anticipating gradient changes: The gradient changes often. Keep a steady rhythm and shift gears promptly to maintain your cadence without jerky surges in effort.
3. Using the finish to recover: The final kilometres (from KM 9 onwards) are less steep. Use them to ease off slightly and catch your breath before the finish line.
