Difficulty analysis: An extremely long hors catégorie climb (50 km) and very demanding. The difficulty lies in its uneven profile: a relatively moderate first section (KM 0-16, gradient often under 5%), followed by a steeper central section (KM 16-27, peaks at 9%) and a brutal finale (KM 39-42, gradients of 10-12%). Kilometre 12 and the sections 31-33 and 43-45 offer brief respites on the descents.
Pacing advice:
1. Ride endurance pace through the first third: Resist the urge to go hard over the first 15 km (average gradient ~3%). This saves your legs for the critical sections.
2. Prepare for the three "walls": The stretches at 9% (KM 16-17), 8% (KM 22-24) and above all 10-12% (KM 39-41) call for deliberately shifting into an easier gear and holding your heart rate steady.
3. Use the descents to recover: The downhill sections (KM 12, 31-33, 43-45) are strategic for easing the pressure on your legs and staying hydrated without losing time.
