Climb analysis: This Category 1 climb is atypical. Its length (40.9 km) is the main difficulty, even though the average gradient of 2% is very gentle. The challenge comes from the cumulative elevation gain over a long distance, with a key section between km 24 and km 26 where the gradient hits 9% (113m of climbing over 2 km), breaking the otherwise steady profile.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Because of the length, hold a steady, moderate pace over the first 23 km (gradients of 1-2%) to save your energy for later.
2. Preparing for the key section: Expect the short but steep 9% ramp at km 24. Ease off slightly before this section so you hit it with fresh legs, and don't blow up your rhythm.
3. Fueling and hydration: An effort of this duration (often more than 1h30) requires a disciplined nutrition strategy. Start drinking and eating from the very beginning of the climb.
