Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This 27.1 km HC climb is a three-act affair. The opening section (km 0-12) is moderate, averaging 4%, and works as a warm-up. The real difficulty peaks between km 13 and 18, with a tough stretch of 8%, 9% and 8%. The final part (km 19-27) is lumpy, mixing short ramps with significant descents (-9% at km 24) that break your rhythm.

Pacing advice:

1. Save something for the heart of the climb. Don't go over the top in the first 12 km. The real effort starts at km 13.

2. Be ready for the changes of pace. The descents near the end (km 24-27) mean you have to get back on the pedals hard after a bit of recovery, and that's a real strain on the legs.

3. Ride it in sections. Manage your effort according to the three distinct parts: warm-up, all-out push, and tactical finish.
