Difficulty breakdown: At 8.5 km with an average gradient of 6.1% and 520 m of elevation gain, this HC climb is mainly defined by its demanding consistency: most of the kilometres sit between 5% and 7%, with no real respite. The finale is brutal, with the KM 8.0-8.5 section at 16% over 477 m, arriving when your legs are already well cooked. The rare flat spots, like KM 2.5-3.0 at 1% or KM 7.0-7.5 at 1%, give you a chance to recover, but they're short.
Pacing tips:
1. Ride within yourself from the start. On the opening kilometres at 5% (KM 0.0-0.5 and KM 1.0-1.5), keep a steady rhythm and save some in the tank for what's coming.
2. Make the most of the flat sections. Use KM 2.5-3.0 and KM 7.0-7.5, both at 1%, to drink, eat and catch your breath without totally easing off the pedals.
3. Prepare for the final ramp. Shift into a light enough gear before KM 8.0-8.5 at 16%, and stay seated to keep a smooth cadence.
