Difficulty breakdown: This 9.1 km Hors Catégorie climb is genuinely hard, with a demanding average gradient of 7.8%. The profile is tactical: a fairly steady first section (KM 0-5) is followed by a very tough central part (KM 5-6.5) with gradients of 10-11%, then a deceptive breather (KM 7.0-7.5 at 2%) before a punchy finale (KM 7.5-8.5 at 8-10%). The last half kilometre is flat.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself over the first two thirds: Resist the temptation to go out too hard. Save your legs for the 11% wall at KM 5.5.
2. Plan for the breather and the finale: Use the 2% section (KM 7.0-7.5) to recover and get yourself mentally and physically ready for the final 10% ramp that follows straight after.
3. Keep a steady rhythm: With such a high average gradient, look for a consistent cadence. The irregular profile makes things harder, so you'll need to read the race well.
