Difficulty breakdown: This hors catégorie climb is extremely demanding, with 2592m of total elevation gain over 27.3km. The average gradient of 9.5% is deceptive; the profile shows uneven difficulty with key sections: a kilometre at 9% (KM 11-12), a flat stretch at 0% (KM 19-20) followed by another 9% section (KM 20-21), and a brutal finish at 10%.
Pacing advice:
1. Ride within yourself from the opening kilometres, despite the moderate gradients (6-7%), to avoid burning matches before the critical sections.
2. Use the 0% flat (KM 19-20) to recover actively (spin easy) before the final push.
3. Save something in the tank for the last 300m at 10%, which will demand an explosive effort after more than 27km of climbing.
