Difficulty breakdown: At 57.8 km averaging 7%, this climb is extremely long and demanding. The difficulty lies in its uneven profile: a relatively moderate first part (KM 0-24, gradient often under 5%) is followed by a much steeper second half, with many sections above 10% between KM 41 and 55.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing: Start very easy over the first 25 km to save your legs. The real climbing only begins after that.
2. Prepare for the key sections: KM 43-44 (14%) and KM 47-52 (8-12%) are the toughest. Shift down into an easier gear in advance and keep a high cadence to get through them.
3. Use the breaks: The short flat sections at 0% (KM 12 and KM 37-39) are crucial for recovering and refueling without losing momentum.
