Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb covers 11.4 km and has a very uneven profile. The first half is brutal, with gradients between 7% and 9% over the first 5 km. It eases noticeably at the midpoint (KM 5-7 at 1%), which is a welcome breather before a lumpy but punishing finale (gradients of 4% to 8%).
How to manage your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The opening kilometers are steep (7%-9%). Don't go out too hard or you'll blow up early.
2. Make the most of the respite: Use the flatter section (KM 5-7) to recover while keeping a good tempo, without forcing it, so you arrive at the final part with something left in the tank.
3. Save something for the end: The last 3 km average 6.5%. Plan for that final effort and hold a steady power output all the way to the summit.
