Climb analysis: At 16.7 km for 941 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.6%, this climb is rated hors catégorie and demands a long, sustained effort. The hard part is concentrated in the first half: from km 0 to km 9, apart from a short descent between km 1 and km 2, the gradient ranges from 5% to 9%. After km 9, the road eases off considerably (1% to 4%), but the accumulated fatigue makes the last kilometres demanding.
Pacing tips:
1. Ease into it: the km 0-1 and km 2-3 sections, at 9%, shouldn't be attacked too hard. Find a pace you can hold for the long haul and keep your pedal stroke smooth.
2. Manage the middle section: between km 5 and km 9, mix the 8%, 6% and 5% stretches while keeping a steady cadence, and start fueling and drinking from km 5.
3. Get the legs turning on the rolling section: between km 9 and km 15, the 1% to 4% gradients are your chance to pick up the pace and recover. Don't ease off on the descent from km 15-16, and save some energy for the final 1% kicker.
