Difficulty analysis: This HC climb is demanding because of its length (20.2 km) and its significant elevation gain (1717m). The main challenge lies in the string of steep sections in the heart of the climb: km 5 to 10 averages 13.4%, with a peak of 17% between km 6 and 7. The profile is tactical, with a relatively manageable start (km 0-4 averaging 5.5%), followed by a very hard stretch, then a brief respite (km 12-13 averaging 4%) before a tough finish (km 18-20 averaging 9.5%).
Pacing tips:
1. Managing your pace on the first third: Resist the temptation to go too hard over the first 4 km (moderate gradient at 5.5%) so you have energy left for the hardest section.
2. Preparing for the heart of the climb: Km 5 to 10 are crucial. Stay on a supple gear and keep a steady rhythm to get through the 11%, 17% and 14% ramps without blowing up.
3. Making the most of the recovery sections: Use the shorter, easier stretches (km 12-13 and km 16-17, around 3-5%) to recover actively before the sustained final kilometers (8-11%).
