Difficulty analysis: This 18.1 km climb is extremely hard, with an average gradient of 11.6%. The difficulty lies in its relentless consistency and the very steep sections, notably the kilometre at 16% (KM 16-17) and those at 14% (KM 5-6) and 13% (KM 8-9, KM 14-15). With no real respite apart from a brief stretch at 5% (KM 7-8), it is a complete test, a true "HC" climb.
Pacing advice:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The first kilometres (6-8%) are deceptive. Ride within yourself to save your legs for the steepest ramps from KM 5 onwards.
2. Anticipate the steep ramps: Ease off slightly before the key sections (KM 5, 8, 14, 16) so you can keep a steady cadence without blowing up on the highest gradients.
3. Use KM 7-8 (5%): Make the most of this short flat section to recover actively (spin easy, drink) before tackling the second half, which is just as hard.
