Difficulty breakdown: This 22.8 km HC climb has a varied gradient. The 4.7% average is deceptive. The first half (KM 1-12) is the hard part, with four sections at 7-8% that demand a sustained effort. The second half (KM 13-end) is more consistent (2-4%), giving you some relative respite to recover.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Don't get sucked into the steep early pitches. Hold a steady tempo, especially on KM 6-8 and 11-12 (8%), to save something for the long haul.
2. Using the easier sections: Make the most of the gentler stretches (KM 2-3, 4-5, 19-20) to spin your legs, drink, and eat without losing time.
3. Mental preparation: Split the climb into two halves in your head. Once you've cleared the hardest part around KM 12, the rest, which is more rolling, will feel much easier to tackle mentally.
