Tips

Difficulty breakdown: The Jalori Pass is a tough climb: 19.6 km with 1859 m of elevation gain, averaging 9.5%. The first 12 km, with gradients between 0% and 7%, let you ride at a strong tempo without blowing up. The real test starts at km 13.0: between km 13.0 and km 19.0, the gradient bounces between 9% and 14%, peaking at 14% from km 16.0 to km 17.0. This string of steep ramps demands careful effort management.

Pacing tips:

1. Pace yourself until km 12. Use the easier stretches, like the flat section from km 8.0 to km 9.0, to recover and settle into a steady rhythm.

2. Prepare for the km 13.0 to km 19.0 section. Stay in a gear that suits the 9 to 14% ramps, and avoid surges that could leave you empty before the summit.

3. Fuel and hydrate regularly. Over almost 20 km, keep taking on food and fluids, especially before the steepest stretch from km 16.0 to km 17.0.
