Difficulty breakdown: This hors catégorie climb is brutally hard, not just because of its high average gradient (9.5%) and its 1865m of elevation gain, but above all because of how savage the second half is. Kilometres 5 to 11 contain a fearsome stretch with gradients of 11% and a peak at 13%, followed by a brutal finish at 17% over the last 600 metres.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Don't go too hard in the first few kilometres (gradients of 4-5%). The real effort starts at km 2. Settle into a steady, measured rhythm so you reach the critical section (km 5-11) without already being cooked.
2. Make the most of the breaks: Take full advantage of the short, easier sections (km 8-9 at 2%, km 14-15 at 1%) to recover by spinning the pedals without forcing, so your legs are topped up for the hard sections that follow straight after.
3. Save something for the finish: Even after km 15, the gradient stays tough (8-9%). You must keep some strength in reserve for the last kilometre (17%), which will demand everything you've got.
