Difficulty analysis: This HC climb is extremely demanding, with an average gradient of 11.9% over 6.3 km. The difficulty is heightened by two sections at 16% (KM 1.5-2.0 and KM 4.5-5.0) that break your rhythm completely. The finish is easier, with 8% followed by 1% over the last 300 metres.
Pacing tips:
1. Tackle the two 16% walls: Ease off a little before reaching these two very steep sections (around 1.5 km and 4.5 km) so you hit them with something left in the tank.
2. Run an easy gear: The high average gradient and the constant changes demand a gear ratio that lets you keep a steady cadence, especially on the steepest pitches.
3. Make the most of the final kilometre: The last kilometre (8% then 1%) gives you the chance to pick up the pace and recover a bit before the line.
