Difficulty breakdown: This 22.5 km climb averaging 11% is extremely demanding, rated HC. The difficulty lies in the string of brutal ramps (three sections at 14-15% in the first 3 km) and the sheer length. The moderate sections (KM 7-9, KM 15, KM 20-22) offer brief respite but aren't enough to make it a steady climb.
Pacing tips:
1. Start easy: Resist the urge to go hard in the first kilometres (15%) or you'll blow up early.
2. Use the flats: Make the most of the low-gradient sections (KM 7-9 at 1-2%) to recover and refuel.
3. Save something in the tank: A final wall at 13% at KM 19 means you'll need to keep some energy in reserve for the finish.
