Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb packs 20.3 km and 1018 m of elevation gain. The first 7 km, with gradients between 1% and 2%, let you find your rhythm without burning matches. The real grind starts from km 7.0-8.0 (4%), then the gradient ramps up to 6%, 7%, and 8%, and hits 9% between km 17.0 and 19.0, which makes the last part of the col very hard.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Save something in the false flat at the start. From km 0.0 to km 7.0, ride at a steady tempo and don't blow up before the really steep section.
2. Get into an easy gear from km 8.0. On the 6% to 8% stretches, aim for a smooth cadence around 70 to 85 rpm to spare your legs.
3. Prepare for the final push between km 17.0 and 19.0. These 9% kilometers take some grit: stay seated, keep pushing steadily, and don't let yourself get dropped before the last 6% section (km 20.0-20.3).
