Difficulty breakdown: This 9.6 km climb ramps up progressively. The first half (up to KM 5.0) is moderate, with gradients often below 4%, giving you a warm-up phase. The difficulty picks up noticeably in the last third, peaking with a very steep 10% section over 500m between KM 8.5 and 9.0. Several flatter sections (0%, 1%) let you recover, but the demanding finale clearly puts this col in the 2nd category.
Pacing advice:
1. Managing your pace early on: Make the most of the first few kilometres, which are less steep, to find a steady rhythm without going too hard. Don't blow up on the short 5% ramps at the start.
2. Saving something for the final push: Keep some energy and mental reserves for the last 2 kilometres (KM 8.0-9.5), where the steepest gradients (6% to 10%) are concentrated.
3. Using the flat sections to recover: The gentler stretches (KM 0.5-1.0, 1.5-2.0, 5.5-6.0) are good opportunities to ease off slightly, drink, and relax your legs before the harder sections.
