Difficulty breakdown: At 13.7 km for 619 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.5%, the Shipon from Şanawbar is a tough, sustained first-category climb. The real pain is in the second half, with 6% from km 10 to 11, 7% from km 11 to 12, then 9% from km 13 to 13.7. The 3% flat sections (km 2-3, km 6-7 and km 12-13) give you a few breathers, but they're too short to make up for the effort you've built up.
Pacing tips:
1. Ease off the start: km 0 to 6, rolling between 3 and 5%, should be ridden at an effort you can sustain, so you reach the foot of the hard sections with something left in the tank.
2. Use the flats: make the most of the 3% sections (km 2-3, km 6-7 and km 12-13) to recover, drink, and get your legs back.
3. Prep for the finale: plan ahead for the km 10 to km 12 stretch and then the 9% section from km 13, picking a gear ratio that suits it and keeping a smooth, steady cadence.
