Tips

Difficulty analysis: HC climb of 12.2 km, tough because of its length and a sustained average gradient of 7%. The difficulty is steady, with most sections at 6%, but there is a notable spike at km 5.0-6.0 (9%) and a steep finish (9% over the last 200 metres).

Pacing tips:

1. Settle into your rhythm from the start: The first kilometres (4-7%) are relatively gentle. Use them to find a steady rhythm without going too deep.

2. Prepare for km 5-6: The 9% section is the steepest part. Ease off your pace slightly before it so you hit it without going into the red.

3. Save something for the finish: The gradient ramps back up to 9% over the last 200 metres. Don't empty the tank too early so you have something left to attack this demanding final stretch.
