Tips

Difficulty breakdown: Ain Tinn from Oued Taga is a Cat 1 climb of 11.7 km with 420 m of elevation gain, for an average gradient of 3.6%. The opening is the hardest part, with 7% then 6% over the first three kilometres, which means nearly 200 m of climbing in a short distance. The almost flat section between km 3 and km 7 gives you a breather before a second steep part between km 8 and km 11, at 4 to 5%. The real difficulty is the way the efforts string together over the length of the climb.

Tips for riding it:

1. Pace yourself from the start. On km 0 to 3, at 6 and 7%, keep your power moderate so you don't blow up before the second half of the climb.

2. Recover between km 3 and km 7. This almost flat stretch is the place to drink, eat and find a steady rhythm again.

3. Save something for the finish. Hit the km 8 to km 11 section at 4 to 5% with some left in the tank, then finish on the last section at 3% and push the pace if you still have energy.
