Difficulty breakdown: The Passo Vlatanei is a HC climb, 13.4 km long with 916 m of elevation gain at an average gradient of 6.8%. The start is the steepest part, with 12% over the first kilometre, then the climb alternates between sections at 8% (km 6-7, 9-10 and 12-13) and easier stretches at 1% (km 10-11), 3% (km 3-4) or 4% (km 1-2, 7-8 and 11-12). No section goes above 8%, but the length of the effort makes pacing the deciding factor.
Tips for the effort:
1. Don't go out too hard on the opening ramp. The 12% from km 0-1 will burn through your reserves fast, so settle into a sustainable rhythm right from the bottom of the climb.
2. Use the flat bits to recover. The 1% section between km 10 and km 11 is the only real respite: keep a steady cadence and drink up so you have something left for the finish.
3. Save something for the finale. After the 4% from km 11-12, the 8% from km 12-13 comes before the last 400 metres at 5%: pace your final effort so you finish strong.
