Difficulty breakdown: This 28.8 km HC climb is genuinely hard, thanks to its 1538m of elevation gain and its length. The main challenge is the uneven profile: after 10 km of steady climbing (5-9%), a flatter section (KM 10-12) and a short descent (KM 15) break up the rhythm. The final is especially brutal, with 9% gradients between KM 16 and 22.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing the changes: Plan for the false flat at KM 10-12 so you can recover without slowing down too abruptly. The descent at KM 15 is a key moment to ease off before the hardest part.
2. Steady rhythm: Hold a steady power output over the first 10 km (5-7% gradients) so you have something left for the 9% sections.
3. Saving something for the finale: The last 8 km (after KM 20) are punishing. Keep some energy in reserve to hold your pace on the closing 4-5% ramps.
