Difficulty analysis: This 2.9 km climb is extremely demanding, with an average gradient of 12.3%, which places it in the hors catégorie. The difficulty is sustained from start to finish, with the first four kilometers showing gradients between 10% and 12%. There is a slight respite over the final 400 meters (8%), but the total elevation gain of 361 m remains very significant for such a short distance.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pacing: Start measured. With the gradient constantly steep, hold a steady cadence and power output from the bottom to avoid blowing up early.
2. Mental preparation: Plan for the length of the effort. Although short, the 12.3% average makes the climb feel very long mentally. Break it down by using the marked kilometers as landmarks.
3. Gearing: Make sure you have a gear ratio that suits gradients over 10% sustained over a long stretch. Save some strength for the final section, which is less steep but comes after an intense effort.
