Difficulty analysis: This 29.6 km hors catégorie climb is a demanding test of endurance. Its main difficulty lies in its length and its considerable elevation gain (2233 m), with a high average gradient of 7.5%. The profile shows a crescendo of difficulty: the first half is relatively steady (gradients of 6-8%), but the second part has harder sections, notably between km 18 and 20 with two consecutive stretches at 10%, which will be decisive.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Start conservatively to save your legs. The goal is to hold a steady power output, especially in the first kilometres at 7%, which should not be attacked too hard.
2. Plan for the key sections: Save something for the double wall at 10% (km 18-20). On the easier stretches (such as km 1-2, 9-10, 12-14), use the time to recover by easing off slightly without losing your rhythm.
3. Nutrition and hydration: A climb of this length calls for a disciplined fueling strategy. Start drinking and taking in carbs early on to avoid bonking in the final kilometres.
