Difficulty analysis: This 19 km HC climb is genuinely hard, thanks to its 1390m of elevation gain and its uneven profile. The 7% average gradient is sustained, but the segment-by-segment breakdown reveals some tough stretches, especially km 5-9 (7-8% grades) and km 11-14 (7-8% grades), broken up by two short recovery sections around km 9-11 and 15-16 (2-3% grades).
Pacing tips:
1. Pace yourself: Resist the urge to go too hard in the first few kilometers (5-6% grades). Use the flatter sections (km 9-11 and 15-16) to recover actively by easing off a bit without stopping.
2. Prepare for the hard bits: The 8% sections (km 5-6, 8-9, 12-13) are the crux. Tackle them in an easy enough gear to keep a steady cadence and avoid blowing up.
