Difficulty breakdown: At 66.6 km averaging 3.5%, this HC climb is first and foremost an endurance test. The challenge lies in its length and its uneven profile. The first part alternates between gentle climbs and descents (KM 8-11 at -7%), so pacing needs to be disciplined. The real difficulty is concentrated in the last 15 km (KM 53-66), where the gradient regularly tops 5%, with peaks at 7% (KM 59-60 and 62-63), after already more than 50 km in the legs.
Pacing tips:
1. Manage your rhythm on the first half: Resist the urge to hammer the first positive gradients. Use the descents (KM 8-13) to recover actively (spin easy) without wasting energy.
2. Prepare for the tough finale: Ride KM 50-53, still moderate, conserving your strength. Save something for the final wall from KM 53, where the gradient stays up for good.
3. Hold a steady pace: On a distance this long, aim for a steady power or heart rate on the climbs, well below your threshold, to avoid blowing up early.
