Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb covers 36.7 km and is genuinely hard because of its uneven profile. The first section (KM 0-12) is fairly moderate, with an average gradient of 3.8%, and serves as a warm-up. The middle section (KM 12-27) is brutal, with 15 km of gradients often between 7% and 9%. The three short descents (KM 28-30 and KM 33) give you crucial recovery moments before the final climb.
Pacing advice:
1. Pacing: Resist the urge to go too hard in the first, less steep kilometres. The real work starts after KM 12.
2. Plan for the key sections: Save your legs for the long 9% stretch between KM 13 and 18. Use the gentle descents (KM 27-30) to recover by spinning easy without stopping.
3. Break it down mentally: Don't think of the climb as one big effort. Split it into chunks: the approach (KM 0-12), the hard core (KM 12-27), the recovery (KM 27-33) and the finale (KM 33-36.7).
