Tips

Difficulty breakdown: At 25.2 km, with 1751 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.9%, the Muamong Pass is a very demanding HC climb. The hard work is concentrated in several steep sections: the opening (km 0-1, 11%), the km 5-7 block (11 to 12%), km 10-11 (11%) and the km 13-15 stretch (8 to 9%). The flat or downhill sections, like km 8-9 (0%) or km 9-10 (-7%), give you a brief respite but break your rhythm. This string of sustained gradients gradually wears down your legs.

Tips for the climb:

1. Pace the start Don't go out too hard in the first kilometre at 11%, because an aggressive start will come back to haunt you on the rest of the climb.

2. Recover on the rolling sections Use the 1 and 2% stretches (km 15-17) to recover, top up on fluids and eat something before the steeper ramps return.

3. Hold a steady cadence in the final part Km 19-21 (8 to 9%) demand a constant effort, without surging, before you can enjoy the descent from km 21-23.
