Difficulty analysis: At 21.7 km, this climb is moderately hard for a Hors Catégorie col, mainly because of its length. The average gradient of 4.4% is steady, but the steepest kilometre (5.0-6.0 at 8%) and the two 6% sections (at the start and at KM 10) need real attention. The flat stretches (KM 7-9 and the finale) give you a chance to recover.
Pacing tips:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: That first 6% ramp can tempt you to go out too hard. Settle into a steady effort, well below your max, so you have something left for the top.
2. Use the flat sections to recover: The 2% stretch (KM 7-9) and the last flat kilometre are ideal for easing off briefly, drinking and eating without losing too much speed.
3. Prepare for the key section: The 8% kilometre (KM 5-6) is the toughest. Ease off your pace a little before it so you can get through without surging or grinding to a halt.
