Difficulty breakdown: This beyond-category (HC) climb covers 33.2 km and gains 2526m, so it's demanding on both length and total elevation. The difficulty lies in its uneven profile: a fairly gentle first half (gradients mostly ≤4%) gives way to a steeper second half, with a tough stretch over the final 5 km (gradients of 7%, 6%, 6%). The downhill sections at KM 7-8 and KM 15-16 offer brief respite but disrupt your rhythm.
Pacing advice:
1. Rhythm management: Start easy over the first 10 km (gradients ≤3%) to save your energy. Build up gradually after KM 11, but keep something in the tank for the tough finish.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: Use the two short descents (KM 7-8 and KM 15-16) to recover actively (spin the legs lightly) without losing momentum.
3. Preparing for the finale: Tackle the final 5 km (KM 28-33) with a steady cadence and a gear ratio suited to the steep gradients (up to 7%), saving your legs for this last real test.
