Difficulty breakdown: A long climb (28.6 km) but with a moderate average gradient of 4.6%. The difficulty lies in its irregularity: several sections at 7-8% (KM 1-2, 3-5, 7, 10, 13) alternate with a 5 km almost flat plateau (KM 19-24), before a steep finish at 7%. The constant 1308m of elevation gain rightly earns it a Hors Catégorie rating.
Effort management tips:
1. Pace yourself over the first kilometers, often the steepest, to avoid blowing up your legs right from the start.
2. Make the most of the long flat section (KM 19-24) to recover actively (spin an easy gear, drink up) before the final push.
3. Save something for the last 2 km at 7%, which will demand a sustained effort to finish strong.
