Difficulty breakdown: This 24.6 km hors catégorie climb is a demanding test of endurance. The average gradient of 6.7% is steady throughout, but the real challenge lies in its length and its steep sections, notably the 9% kilometer and the two consecutive kilometers at 8% between km 13 and km 15. The only notable respite is a 3% stretch around km 16.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself: Don't go too hard in the early kilometers, especially on the 9% section. Hold a steady effort to save something in the tank for the long haul.
2. Make the most of the easier gradients: The 3-4% stretches (around km 16 and km 20-24) are crucial for recovering a little and easing the pressure on your legs without losing rhythm.
3. Prepare for the hard sections: Get ready mentally and physically for the two kilometers at 8% in the middle of the climb, a critical point where fatigue can build up.
