Tips

Difficulty analysis: This 19.1 km HC climb has a demanding, uneven profile. The main challenge is the string of 7% sections over the first 7 km, followed by a significant breather between km 7 and 11 (flat, then a gentle descent). The effort picks up again with sustained gradients (5 to 8%) all the way to the summit, including a kilometre at 8% at km 13. The length and this change of rhythm make it a tactical climb.

Pacing tips:

1. Manage the start: Resist the buzz of the early kilometres and settle into a steady rhythm on the first 7 steep km to avoid blowing up.

2. Make the most of the breather: Use the flat and downhill section (km 7-11) to recover actively (spin easy, drink, eat) without losing too much speed.

3. Save something for the finish: Get back into a solid tempo before km 13 so you approach the steepest section (8%) with composure and hold your pace over the final kilometres.
