Difficulty analysis: This 5.8 km climb is a brutal test, rated hors catégorie because of its very steep average gradient of 11.2%. The difficulty is compounded by sustained gradients all the way up, with three sections at 12% (KM 2.0-2.5, KM 3.0-3.5 and the final KM 5.5-5.8) that are the key points of the climb.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: The first kilometers (9-10%) are deceptive. Don't go out too hard, or you'll burn your matches before the 12% sections.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The toughest kilometer (12%) comes early (KM 2.0-2.5). Save something in the tank for that section and for the final 12% ramp before the line.
3. Hold a steady rhythm: The gradient stays above 9% almost the whole way. Find a gear that lets you keep a smooth, consistent cadence without surging.
