Difficulty analysis: A demanding hors catégorie climb over 16.2 km. The 6.4% average gradient is deceptive: the profile is very uneven, with steep sections (7-8% gradients on KM 8-9 and 11-14) broken up by easier stretches (KM 2-4 and the final part). The difficulty lies in that variation and the total length.
Pacing advice:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The first kilometres (6-7%) are tempting to attack. Don't go over the top before the easier sections (KM 2-4 at 2-3%), where you can recover.
2. Plan for the key sections: The toughest stretches (8%) come between KM 8-9 and 11-14. Save something for these segments by holding a steady tempo on the 5-6% gradients leading into them.
3. Use the finish to kick on: The last kilometres (KM 15-16.2 at 3%) are less steep. If you've paced the effort well, this section lets you raise the tempo before the finish.
