Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb is extremely demanding, with an average gradient of 11% over almost 12 km. The difficulty is compounded by two particularly steep sections: km 9.0-10.0 at 14% and the final stretch (11.0-11.8 km) at 13%, both coming late in the climb when fatigue is at its peak.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Start at a moderate power output to save your energy. The opening kilometres (1-2 and 3-4) at 12% call for caution.
2. Plan for the key sections: Save something in the tank for the 14% wall at the 9th km and the 13% finish. These are the decisive sections.
3. Active recovery: Make the most of the brief respites (km 5.0-6.0 at 8% and km 10.0-11.0 at 9%) to ease off slightly and recover without slowing down too much.
