Tips

Difficulty breakdown: The Tizi n'Fedghat is a Cat 1 climb, 8.9 km long with 428 m of elevation gain, averaging 4.8%. The first 2 km, between 2% and 4%, let you get the legs turning without hurting too much. The real test starts at KM 3.0-3.5 (8%), then from KM 6.0 to KM 8.9 the gradients run at 6% to 8% with hardly any respite, which makes the finish particularly demanding.

Pacing tips:

1. Save something for later: on KM 0.0-2.0, ride within yourself so you arrive fresh at the 8% section at KM 3.0-3.5.

2. Use the flat section: KM 5.0-5.5, almost flat (0%), is the ideal spot to recover, drink and settle into a steady rhythm before the final part.

3. Manage the final kilometres: from KM 6.0 to KM 8.9, keep a steady cadence and avoid surging too hard, because the 7 to 8% pitches come one after another with no real let-up.
