Tips

Difficulty analysis: This HC climb is genuinely hard, with a very punishing first half (gradients of 10-13% over the first 4 km) followed by a more irregular middle section. The finish stays tough, with 8-12% over the last two kilometres. The short 0% stretch at KM 6.5-7.0 offers a brief breather.

Pacing advice:

1. Start controlled: Don't go with the early surge (KM 0.5-2.0 at >10%). Save your legs for the long haul.

2. Find your rhythm: Use the easier sections (KM 2.5-3.0 at 3% and KM 5.0-5.5 at 4%) to recover without losing too much time.

3. Save something for the end: Keep some energy in the tank for the final kilometres (KM 8.0-8.5 at 12%), which are among the steepest of the climb.
