Between km 12.0 and km 15.0, the gradient hits 13%, then 11%, then 13%, and that's the real crux of the climb.

Tips for the effort:
1. Save your legs in the first part For the first 12 km, with gradients between 1% and 4%, ride at a steady pace so you still have something in the tank for what's coming.
2. Pick the right gear for the crux Between km 12.0 and km 15.0, where the gradient swings between 11% and 13%, go for an easy gear, spin smoothly and stay seated to limit fatigue.
3. Hold a steady effort all the way to the top Between km 15.0 and km 18.0, with gradients of 6% to 9%, avoid unnecessary surges and keep a stable rhythm until the finish.
