Climb analysis: This 11.9 km climb is extremely demanding, with an average gradient of 10.5%. The difficulty lies in the uneven profile: very steep sections at KM 5-6 (15%), KM 7-8 (13%) and KM 9-10 (14%) alternate with gentler stretches, which disrupts your rhythm.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Settle into a steady rhythm from the start to save your legs for the three steep ramps at 13-15%.
2. Manage your gearing by anticipating the gradient changes, especially the 15% section after 5 km, which is the crux of the climb.
3. Make the most of the shorter 4-6% sections (KM 8-9 and KM 10-11) to recover actively without slowing down too much.
