Difficulty analysis: This HC climb is demanding because of its significant elevation gain (1128m) over a fairly short distance (15.4km). The difficulty lies in the uneven gradients, with two particularly steep sections: km 1.0-2.0 at 11% and, above all, km 5.0-6.0 at 13%, which is the crux of the climb.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Start steady so you can tackle the first steep ramp at 11% without already being over your limit. Save your legs for the critical 13% section around the 5th kilometre.
2. Plan for the easier stretches: Use the sections with gentler gradients (notably km 10-11 and 12-13 at 4%) to recover actively without losing too much time, ahead of the final wall at 10% at km 13.
