Difficulty breakdown:
This 9.2 km climb is rated HC (hors catégorie, beyond categorisation) because of its 703m of elevation gain and its high average gradient (7.6%). The real test is the length, plus four sections at 10%, especially the nasty stretch between km 3.0 and km 4.0. The final kilometre has a 10% ramp, so you'll need to have something left in the tank right to the top.
How to pace the effort:
1. Set your rhythm from the bottom: The first half is hard, with gradients of 8-10%. Don't go out too hot or you'll burn your matches early.
2. Make the most of the recovery sections: The 4% stretches (KM 0.5-1.0 and 5.5-6.0) are your chance to recover while holding a steady tempo without going deep.
3. Save something for the finish: Plan for the final kilometre at 10% by managing your effort on the 7-8% slopes leading into it.
