Climb analysis: This 15 km HC climb has a demanding average gradient of 7%. What makes it tough is how consistent it is, with only two kilometres under 5% (KM1 and KM13). The hardest sections are between KM4 and KM11, where the gradient sits between 7% and 9%, and you'll need to keep the pressure on for a long time.
Pacing tips:
1. Manage your rhythm: Start easy over the first 4 kilometres (gradients of 4% to 6%) so you don't blow up before the 9% section at KM5.
2. Be ready for the accelerations: The 8% ramps at KM10 and KM11 come right after a brief easing. Keep a steady cadence at KM9 (6%) so you arrive at that double challenge with something left in the tank.
3. Use the breathers: KM13-14 at 4% is your only real chance to recover. Take advantage of it to refuel before the final climb at 5%.
