Difficulty breakdown: This 21 km HC climb is a serious test. The main challenge is the brutal opening, with gradients of 10-11% over the first 4 km, which hit your cardiovascular system straight away. The profile is then uneven, alternating harder sections (KM 7-8 at 9%, KM 12-13 at 9%) with places where you can recover a bit (KM 8-9 at 3%, KM 19-20 at 2%). The length combined with an average gradient of 7.6% makes it a complete challenge.
Pacing advice:
1. Start controlled, no matter how good your legs feel. If you go out too hard, you'll blow up on those first kilometres at 11%. Stay in an easy gear and keep your heart rate in check.
2. Make the most of the easier sections (KM 8-9 and the final part) to recover actively: ease off the intensity a little while keeping a smooth, steady cadence.
3. Manage your effort on the ramps back up after the easier stretches, like the kick back to 9% after KM 8, so you don't blow up with a sudden spike.
