Difficulty breakdown: This 12.3 km climb averaging 8% is hard, rated Hors Catégorie. The real challenge is how uneven it is: three steep sections (KM 3-5 at 10-11%, KM 8-9 at 10%, KM 11-12 at 9%) are separated by flatter stretches (KM 5-7 and KM 9-10 at 3-5%), which breaks your rhythm.
How to manage the effort:
1. Settle into a steady rhythm over the first kilometres (7-9%) so you still have something in the tank before the steepest parts.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes. Use the flatter sections (KM 5-7 and KM 9-10) to recover by spinning an easy gear without stopping, and get ready to dig in for the next ramp.
3. Save something for the finish. The last kilometre (9%) is no joke, so don't blow up on the 11% section (KM 4-5) by overpacing your effort.
