Difficulty breakdown: The Alto de Mondoñedo from Tena is a HC climb covering 27.2 km with 1829 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.7%. The opening is already tough, with 8% then 7% over the first two kilometres, and the km 6.0 to km 7.0 section at 13% is the steepest part. Most of the kilometres sit between 5% and 8%, and the rare flat sections (km 3.0-4.0 and km 9.0-10.0 at 1%) only offer a very brief breather. The finale, with 18% over the last 171 metres (km 27.0-27.2), makes this col a real test of endurance and pacing.
Pacing tips:
1. Pace yourself from the start Going too hard on the km 0.0-1.0 at 8% will cost you dearly when you hit the 13% ramp at km 6.0-7.0.
2. Make the most of the flats On the km 3.0-4.0 and km 9.0-10.0 flats at 1%, stay seated, spin a light gear and drink something to recover.
3. Prepare for the finale Keep a gear soft enough for the km 27.0-27.2 at 18%, and stay seated to keep your traction.
