Tips

Difficulty breakdown: At 8.1 km for 360 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.4%, the Tuil Pass is a demanding Category 1 climb. The first kilometres, between 1% and 3% over the first 2.5 km, let you ride at a strong tempo without burning too many matches. The real difficulty is concentrated between km 4.0 and km 6.5, where the gradient hits 5%, 7%, 6% and then 8%, before a finish that's just as hard, between 5% and 6%, all the way to the summit.

Pacing tips:

1. Save something in the tank Don't go out too hard over the first 2.5 km, where the gradient stays moderate, so you still have energy left for what comes next.

2. Prepare for the middle section Shift into an easy gear from km 4.0 and keep a steady cadence on the 7% and 8% ramps, without any surges.

3. Make the most of the breather from km 5.5 to 6.0 Don't completely ease off, but use the 3% section to recover and get your breath back before the 8% ramp.
