Difficulty analysis: Despite a modest average gradient of 2.9%, this 21 km climb is rated beyond categorization because of its length and its substantial 617 m of elevation gain. The difficulty lies in its consistency, with only two steeper sections: a kilometer at 7% (KM 6-7) and the finale at 8% (KM 20-21), which demands disciplined effort management.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing yourself: Settle into a steady rhythm suited to the average gradient. Most of the climb sits between 1% and 4%, which makes it easy to find a good cadence.
2. Anticipating the changes in gradient: Don't go too hard in the first few kilometers. Save some in the tank for the 7% section (around the 6th km) and above all for the final kilometer at 8%, which will be decisive.
3. Fuelling up: Length is the main challenge. Drink and eat regularly from the very start to keep your power up over the long haul.
