Tips

Difficulty analysis: This 13 km HC climb has a sustained average gradient of 6.6%, but its difficulty lies in how the gradient progresses. The slope rises steadily to a peak of 8% between km 7 and 8, just before a brief easing. The final kilometer is almost flat (1%), which pulls the average gradient down.

Pacing advice:

1. Start conservatively: The first kilometers (5-6%) are relatively gentle. Use them to settle into a steady rhythm without burning your legs too early.

2. Prepare for the heart of the climb: Get ready mentally and physically for a hard stretch between km 3 and 8, where the gradient hovers between 7% and 8%. This is where the effort will be most intense.

3. Save something for the finish: Don't let up after the km 8 peak. The 5-6% ramps that follow still demand a steady cadence before the final respite on the last kilometer.
