Difficulty analysis: At 24 km averaging 10.7%, this climb is extremely demanding and rated hors catégorie. The difficulty lies in its very high total elevation gain (2559m) and its uneven profile. The opening is brutal, with 16% and 12% in the first 2 km, followed by a recovery section (KM 3 to 6). The gradient then stays mostly between 6% and 12%, with two more sections at 12% (KM 15 and KM 21) that make the final part really hard.
Pacing advice:
1. Start in an easy gear: The first few kilometers are crucial. Use the smallest gear you can so you don't blow your legs early, and keep a high cadence (>80 rpm).
2. Active recovery on the flatter sections: Make the most of KM 3 to 6 (gentle or even downhill) to ease off a little, drink and eat without slowing down too sharply.
3. Anticipate the steep ramps: The steep sections come back regularly (KM 6, 8, 15, 20, 21). Anticipate these gradient changes so you can shift to the right gear in time and avoid a sudden overload.
