Difficulty analysis: A short but brutal climb, rated HC (hors catégorie) because of its high average gradient of 9.2%. The difficulty lies in the string of savage ramps, especially between km 2.0 and 6.5 where the gradient stays above 10% the whole way, peaking at 13% between km 5.0 and 5.5. The km 0.5-1.0 section at 1% is the only real respite.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing: Get your effort under control early on, since the sections above 11% (km 2.0-3.5 and 4.0-6.5) will punish you if you go too hard from the bottom and blow up.
2. Use the recovery: Make the most of km 0.5-1.0 (1%) to recover and bring your heart rate down before the hardest part.
3. Steady rhythm: Hold a smooth, consistent tempo on the 8-9% stretches to save your legs for the steepest pitches.
