Difficulty analysis: This 10 km climb is extremely demanding, with an average gradient of 10.1%. The difficulty lies in its irregularity: a first kilometre at 8% is followed by a brutal section at 19% and 14% between 1 and 2 km, then a relative respite between 2 and 7 km (gradients of 2% to 10%). The final section (from km 7 to km 10) is particularly hard, with sustained gradients between 11% and 14%, making the finish very tough.
Pacing advice:
1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go too hard despite the initial 8%. The gradient ramps up brutally to 19% after just 1 km. Save something in the tank.
2. Manage the changes: Make the most of the less steep sections (KM 2.0-2.5 at 2% and KM 4.5-5.0 at 3%) to recover actively without slowing down too much.
3. Prepare for the finish: The last half is overall considerably harder. Tackle the final 3 kilometres (12-13%) with a suitable gear and a steady cadence to avoid blowing up.
