Tips

Difficulty breakdown: At 24.9 km for 1865 m of climbing, with an average gradient of 7.5%, the Hatnuk Gali from Inshan is HC and demands serious consistency. The climb gives you almost no breathing room. Most of the kilometres sit between 4% and 7%, with a very steep stretch at KM 7.0-8.0 averaging 9%. The sections at 3%, such as KM 10.0-11.0 and KM 12.0-13.0, are too short to really recover on. The cumulative effort over the duration is what will make the difference.

Pacing tips:

1. Don't go out too hard. The first kilometres at 6% (KM 0.0-1.0) tempt you to attack, so settle into a steady rhythm right from the bottom.

2. Prepare for the 9% section. Shift to an easier gear before KM 7.0-8.0 and stay seated to keep a smooth, consistent cadence.

3. Make the most of the easier stretches. Use KM 10.0-11.0 and KM 12.0-13.0 at 3% to drink, eat and get your legs turning again, then save some energy for KM 23.0-24.9, where the gradient drops to 2% and then 1%.
