Difficulty breakdown: This 20.3 km HC climb is hard because of its length and its serious 1389 m of elevation gain. The 7% average gradient is deceptive: the profile is very uneven, with several stretches at 8-9% (notably between km 8-13 and at km 15), broken up by short respites at 1% (km 6-7). The difficulty lies in this alternation, which makes it impossible to settle into a steady rhythm.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Manage the changes in gradient: Plan ahead for the 9% sections and ease off on the flatter parts (like km 3-4 at 5%) so you don't blow up.
2. Save your legs on the flat: Make sure you use the 1% kilometre (km 6-7) to recover while keeping the pedals turning, without going hard.
3. Keep a steady cadence: Pick a gear that lets you hold a smooth, consistent cadence, especially over the last three kilometres (4-7%) where the fatigue will set in.
