Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb is 24.8 km long with 1770m of elevation gain, so it's a serious undertaking on length alone. The average gradient of 7.1% is sustained, but the real difficulty lies in the variations: a flatter section between km 12 and 15 (0-4%) gives you a bit of respite, while the 9-10% stretches (km 6-7, km 16-17 and the finale) demand real grinding.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself over the first half: Use km 10 to 15, where the gradient eases (2-4%), to recover and dial in your pace before the harder sections that follow.
2. Save something for the steep ramps: Keep some reserves for the three key 9% sections and the 10% finale over 800m, which will be decisive for your time.
3. Manage your gearing: The changing gradients call for careful gear selection to maintain a steady cadence and avoid blowing up on the steeper pitches.
