Climb difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb is genuinely hard because of its uneven profile. The first half is demanding (gradients of 6-8%), followed by a significant breather at km 9-10 (flat and a slight descent). The difficulty peaks at the end with three kilometers at 9% between km 16 and km 19, which makes it the decisive section.
Pacing tips:
1. Manage the start: Resist the temptation to go out too hard despite the steep early ramps. The goal is to reach the km 8-10 flat with fresh legs.
2. Make the most of the breather: Use the flat, downhill section (km 8-10) to recover actively (spin a easy gear, drink) before the gradient kicks back in.
3. Save something for the finale: Plan for the final crux (16-19 km). Tackle this 9% stretch with controlled pace to avoid blowing up.
