Tips

Climb analysis: This HC climb covers 21.9 km for 1295 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 5.9%. The opening is particularly brutal: from km 0 to km 4, the gradient hovers between 9% and 11%, with nearly 400 m climbed in just four kilometers. A second steep section comes from km 8 to km 9 (10%), then the final part, from km 12 to km 16 (5 to 7%) and from km 21 to km 21.9 (7%), demands good effort management all the way to the summit.

Tips for pacing:

1. Control the start. In the first four kilometers at 10%, don't go out too hard. Settle into a steady rhythm and stay seated to save your legs.

2. Make the most of the recovery sections. Take a breather and drink or eat on the flat section from km 4 to km 5 (1%), then on the slight descent from km 6 to km 7 (-2%) and the false flat from km 9 to km 11 (2%).

3. Save something for the end. After the 1% section from km 16 to km 18, ease back into it gradually and keep enough in the tank to tackle the final 7% ramp from km 21 to km 21.9.
