Climb difficulty: This hors catégorie climb is a sustained effort, due to its length (16.8 km) and its significant elevation gain (1062 m). The 6% average gradient is deceptive: the 8% kilometer (KM 12-13) and the six 7% sections demand intense efforts, while the 0% flat section (KM 10-11) offers a brief respite but breaks your rhythm.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing: Keep your power in check on the 7-8% sections to avoid blowing up, especially after the flat, where the gradient ramps up hard again.
2. Making the most of the recovery: Use the 0% kilometer to recover actively (spin easy) without slowing down too much.
3. Saving something for the finish: The last 3 kilometers hold a steep gradient (6-7%); keep something in the tank for this final part.
