Climb analysis: This 23.8 km climb is atypical. The first 3 km are flat, followed by a gradual warm-up. The real difficulty starts after the 10th km, with a series of 6-8% sections, especially between km 15 and 20. The short descent at km 13 gives you a brief breather before the toughest part. The final is ramped up (7% over the last 800 meters). The 4% average gradient is deceptive and hides an uneven profile.
Pacing advice:
1. Start easy: Resist the urge to go hard on the first flat kilometers. Use them to warm up your legs and settle into a steady breathing rhythm.
2. Manage your efforts: Anticipate the series of 6-8% ramps. Spin an easy gear on the steep sections to save your legs, and use the descent at km 13 to recover actively.
3. Save something for the finish: The 7% gradient at the end requires fresh legs. Control your effort through the tough middle sections so you can attack over the last kilometer.
