Tips

Difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb covers 10.5 km and is a serious test because of its high average gradient (8.1%) and its substantial elevation gain (846 m). The difficulty is amplified by two particularly steep sections: km 5.0-6.0 at 11% and km 2.0-3.0 at 10%, which will demand a lot of effort.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Pace yourself: Watch out for the two sections above 10% (between km 2-3 and km 5-6) and ease off the pedals from the start to avoid blowing up.

2. Make the most of the breathers: The km 7.0-8.0 section at 4% is a key chance to recover and bring your heart rate down before the final push.

3. Run a gear you can spin: With this length and average gradient, you'll want a gear low enough to keep a steady cadence, especially on the steepest stretches.
