Difficulty breakdown: At 5.9 km with 397 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.7%, the Sidi Aissa col from Plaisance is a tough Cat 1 climb with no real respite. The first kilometers sit between 7% and 9%, then the steepest pitches hit 10% between 3.5 and 4.0 km and again between 4.5 and 5.0 km. Only the 2.5-3.0 km stretch, at 3%, offers any real recovery, before a sustained 8% section from 5.0 to 5.5 km, followed by a short slight descent (-2%) over the final 5.5-5.9 km.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: the first 2.5 km at 7-9% are already hard work, so don't go out too hot.
2. Make the most of the 3% section: use the 2.5-3.0 km stretch to recover, and drink or eat during the 3.0-3.5 km section at 5%.
3. Handle the 10% ramps: stay seated through the 3.5-4.0 km and 4.5-5.0 km sections, keep a steady cadence, and run a light enough gear.
