Difficulty analysis: This 40.3 km climb is extremely hard because of its big elevation gain (3092 m) and its length. The average gradient of 7.7% is steep, but the real difficulty lies in the sharp changes in gradient: a descent between km 9 and 12 (gradients down to -6%) followed by an abrupt return to climbing, and a very demanding final section with 9-10% ramps between km 31 and 33.
Pacing advice:
1. Managing your pace at the start of the climb: The first kilometres (4-6%) are relatively "easy". Use them to settle into a steady cadence without going over your limit.
2. Anticipating the changes in gradient: The descent between km 9 and 12 is a trap. Use it to recover actively without breaking your rhythm, but prepare mentally and physically for the immediate return to the 6% gradient.
3. Saving something for the finale: The last 10 km are tough, with steep ramps (7-10%). Avoid hard efforts in the middle of the climb so you keep the power you need for this decisive part.
