Difficulty breakdown: With 19.9 km and 1065 m of climbing at an average gradient of 5.4%, the Djebel Bissa from Douar Ben Ali is rated HC, mainly because of its length and the repeated efforts. The crux comes at km 4 to 5 with 11%, followed by plenty of stretches between 8 and 9% (km 5 to 6, km 8 to 9, km 10 to 11, then km 12 to 14). The last kilometre, at 9% between km 19 and km 19.9, adds a sting in the tail.
Pacing advice:
1. Save your legs at the start. Km 0 to 3, with gradients of 2 to 5%, gives you time to find a steady rhythm before the 11% section at km 4 to 5.
2. Recover on the flat and downhill sections. The flat stretch at km 9 to 10 (0%) and the gentle descent at km 16 to 17 (-1%) are good chances to spin the legs out and take on food.
3. Keep something in reserve for the end. After the 9% ramps from km 12 to 14, you need to manage your effort so you can tackle the final kilometre at 9% without blowing up.
