Difficulty Analysis

This hors catégorie climb is genuinely hard, with an average gradient of 6.2% over 16.8 km. The difficulty ramps up in a brutal central section between km 5 and 8, where the gradient hovers around 9% or even goes above it. The final km is a downhill false flat, but the average gradient across the whole climb stays high.

Pacing Tips

1. Save something for the 5-8 km section, the steepest part of the climb. Don't go out too hard.

2. Settle into a steady rhythm on the 4-6% sections so you can recover before the parts above 8%.

3. Use the final km, which drops, to ease off the pressure and get ready for the finish.
