Difficulty analysis: This 34.7 km climb is a real test of endurance. The average gradient of 6% is demanding, but it's the uneven distribution that defines its difficulty. Several sections at 9-10% (KM 6-7, 10-11, 22-23, 32-33) are very hard, especially the last 10% ramp in the final 2 kilometers. The two short descents (KM 18-20) offer a deceptive break before the effort ramps back up.
Pacing advice:
1. Settle into your rhythm from the start: The first kilometers are steep (8%). Don't go out too hard, or you'll burn through your reserves before the top.
2. Use the descents to recover: Take advantage of KM 18 to 20 (negative gradient) to ease the pressure on your legs, drink and eat without pushing too hard.
3. Save something for the finale: The final kilometer averages 10%. Prepare for it by managing your pace on the easier sections (KM 28, 30) leading up to it.
