Climb analysis: This hors catégorie climb has a progressive difficulty. The first part (KM 0-4) is relatively gentle (2-6%), serving as a warm-up. The difficulty peaks at the end of the climb with two sections at 9% (KM 12-13.4), after a demanding stretch of 6% and 7% (KM 9-11). The length (13.4 km) and the constant gradient make the effort sustained.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Managing your pace: Use the first 4 kilometres to find a steady rhythm, without going into the red, so you save your energy.
2. Anticipating the hard sections: Save something for the 7% ramps (KM 9-11) and above all before the 9% finale (KM 12-13.4), the steepest part.
3. Keeping a good cadence: On the long gradients (5-7%), favour a steady pedal cadence rather than sheer force to avoid burning out too early.
