Tips

Difficulty analysis: This climb is extremely steep, with an average gradient of 13.6% over 3.4 km. The difficulty lies in the succession of very steep sections (15%, 14%) and an atypical descent at the end. The 457m of climbing is concentrated over a short distance, which rightly puts it in the hors catégorie category.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Pace yourself: Don't go too hard in the first kilometer at 15%. Use the 5% section (KM 2.0-2.5) to recover before the final 14% crux.

2. Anticipate the change of rhythm: The descent over the last 400 meters requires a mental switch and speed control after an intense effort.

3. Manage your gearing: A gear ratio suited to steep gradients is essential to keep a sustainable cadence on the sections above 12%.
