Difficulty analysis: At 9.6 km, with 752 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 7.8%, La Salle from Thanti is a very demanding hors catégorie climb. Its difficulty lies above all in the consistency of the steep sections: the stretches at 11%, 12% and 16% string together from KM 2.0-2.5 to KM 5.5-6.0, then again from KM 7.0-7.5 to KM 8.0-8.5. The rare easier sections, such as KM 1.0-1.5 at 0% or KM 8.5-9.0 at 1%, offer little real respite.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first 500 metres at 7% (KM 0.0-0.5) tempt you to empty the tank, but you need to find a sustainable rhythm over more than 9 km of climbing.
2. Use the flat sections to recover. KM 1.0-1.5 at 0% and KM 4.0-4.5 at 3% are your chance to loosen the legs, drink and eat before the steepest ramps.
3. Be ready for the 16% section. KM 4.5-5.0 is the hardest stretch of the climb: shift to a small gear, keep a steady cadence and stay in the saddle to save something for what comes next.
