Difficulty breakdown: This 20.5 km HC climb is genuinely hard, with a sustained average gradient of 6.3%. The difficulty lies in its inconsistency: after an easy start (KM 0-3 < 3%), the gradient settles into a steady, demanding grind from KM 3 onwards, with several steep sections at 7-8% (KM 8-9, KM 12-13, KM 15-17). The finish (KM 20-20.5) is flat, which gives you a chance to attack before the line.
Pacing advice:
1. Start controlled: Don't let the adrenaline get the better of you in the first 3 km (gradient < 3%). Save your legs for the hard sections ahead.
2. Steady rhythm on the steep bits: Be ready for the 7-8% sections (around KM 8, 12 and 16). Spin a light gear and keep your effort even to avoid surges.
3. Use the breathers: The short, gentler sections (KM 7-8 at 2%, KM 11-12 at 5%) are good chances to recover a little without slowing down too much.
