Difficulty breakdown: This 22 km HC climb is genuinely hard because of its uneven profile. The 6% average gradient hides some big variations, with one particularly steep km at 11% (KM 6-7) and several repeated sections at 7%. There's no long flat stretch, so you're working the whole way up.
Pacing tips:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The first few km (3-5%) are deceptive. Don't go out too hard, save your legs for the 7% sections and the 11% spike.
2. Prepare for KM 6-7: Drop into an easier gear before the 11% ramp and keep a high cadence to limit muscle fatigue.
3. Manage the sections: After the hardest part, the gradient eases to 2% (KM 7-8). Use this short breather to spin your legs and recover without stopping, before tackling the many km at 6-7%.
