Difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb is genuinely hard, with a sustained average gradient of 7% over 13.1 km. The difficulty is amplified by two demanding sections: a kilometre at 10% between KM 6.0 and 7.0, followed by a respite (KM 8.0-9.0 at 3%), before a second spike at 10% between KM 10.0 and 11.0, which makes it a tactical route.
Pacing advice:
1. Pace yourself: Resist the temptation to go too hard in the first steady kilometres (7%) so you don't build up fatigue before the two critical 10% sections.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The 3% respite (KM 8-9) is crucial. Use it to recover actively (spin light and easy) and prepare for the attack on the last tough sector (KM 10-11).
3. Mental game: Break the climb into three parts: the steady opening (KM 0-6), the double challenge (KM 6-7 and 10-11), and the final stretch (KM 11-13) to make it more manageable mentally.
