Tips

Difficulty breakdown: A long climb (27.1 km) with serious elevation gain (1861m). The average gradient of 6.9% is sustained, but the real challenge is the variable profile. Three sections at 10% (km 3-4 and 6-7) and one at 9% (km 5-6) early on are crucial, followed by a real breather of nearly 3 km at 0-2% between km 9 and 12. The final kilometre averages 8%, so save something in the tank.

Pacing tips:

1. Start easy: Don't blow your watts on the first steep kilometres (7-10%). Keep some in reserve for later.

2. Use the flat: The almost flat section between km 9 and 12 is your chance to recover and refuel without losing speed.

3. Manage the finish: Expect the ramp to kick back up after km 23 and keep enough left for the final 8% push.
