Difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb covers 18.9 km and is a demanding effort because of its high average gradient (7.7%) and its substantial elevation gain (1452m). The difficulty is compounded by an uneven distribution: a steep first kilometre (9%), a harder section between km 3 and 4 (10%), and a particularly brutal finish with gradients of 9%, 11% and 8% over the last three kilometres. Kilometre 13 offers a brief respite (-3%), crucial for recovery.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing: Start conservatively so you don't blow up over the first 4 very steep km. Use km 5 (4%) and km 13 (downhill) to recover actively by easing off slightly without losing your rhythm.
2. Save something for the end: Keep some energy in the tank for the last 3 km, the steepest part of the climb (9%, 11%, 8%). Prepare mentally and physically for this final test.
3. Segmenting: Don't look at the climb as one big block. Break it into sections based on changes in gradient (e.g. km 0-4, km 5-12, km 14-finish) for a more effective mental and physical approach.
