Climb analysis: At 54.7 km averaging 6%, this climb is pure endurance. The difficulty lies in its length and its uneven profile. The sections at 8-9% (KM 4, 10, 35, 44, 47) are hard work, but the several flat stretches and even short descents (KM 17 to 21, 28 to 30) give you crucial recovery time. The finish stays honest, with 5-7% over the last few kilometres.
Pacing tips:
1. Pace yourself from the start: Use the easier sections (KM 13-17, 22-24) and the gentle descents to recover, spinning easy without forcing. Don't go over your limit on the early 8% ramps.
2. Prepare for the hard stretches: Kilometres 35 to 42 (9%, 7%, 6%) and 44 to 51 (8%, 7%) are the toughest. Get into the right gear early and keep a steady cadence to avoid blowing up.
3. Mental game: Break the climb into chunks and use the flat sections as mini-goals. The length makes patience essential.
