Climb analysis: This hors catégorie climb covers 16.9 km with a very irregular profile. The main difficulty is the 11.0-12.0 km section at 15%, preceded by a steep stretch (km 3.0-6.0 at 7-11%). The flat sections (km 6.0-7.0) and descents (km 8.0-9.0) give you crucial recovery moments before the final push.
Tips for pacing:
1. Manage the changes in gradient: Don't go too hard in the first few kilometers. Save something in the tank for the three consecutive hard kilometers (km 10.0-13.0 at 8%, 15%, 10%).
2. Make the most of the breaks: Use the flat kilometer (km 6.0-7.0) and the slight descent (km 8.0-9.0) to recover actively (spin easy) without losing your rhythm.
3. Ration your effort for the finish: The last two kilometers (2% then 7%) let you respond with a dig if you've paced the steep sections well.
