Difficulty analysis: This HC climb covers 13.8 km with a real challenge: a sustained average gradient of 7.2%. The difficulty lies in the uneven profile: three sections at 10% (KM 2-3 and 4-5) are very demanding, especially the one that comes after a 1 km breather at 3% (KM 3-4). The finish is also tough, with a 9% gradient over the last 800 metres.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Handle the changes in gradient: Anticipate the shifts in pitch. Ease off in the 3-4% sections (KM 3-4 and 9-10) so you arrive fresh at the 8-10% sections that follow.
2. Steady rhythm: Find a power output or gear ratio you can hold for the 7.2% average. Don't "blow up" in the first kilometres, which are steeper.
3. Save something for the finish: Keep some in the tank for the last kilometre (9%), the steepest part of the route after a 5% section.
