Difficulty analysis: This 18.9 km HC climb is moderate but sustained. The average gradient of 3.9% is steady over the first half (mostly 4-5%), with two short downhill sections (KM 6-7 and KM 12-13) and a flat section (KM 13-14) that give you welcome chances to recover. The last part (KM 14-18.9) demands a serious effort again (gradients of 4-5%) before a gentler finish.
Tips for pacing:
1. Managing your pace: Resist the urge to go too hard in the first kilometres at 5%. Use the downhill sections (KM 6-7 and KM 12-13) to ease off slightly and recover without losing your momentum.
2. Anticipating the sequences: The flat section at 1% (KM 13-14) is the ideal place to top up on food and fluids and prepare for the return to 4-5% gradients over the next four kilometres, which make up the last real test before the finish.
