Difficulty analysis: At 16.6 km with 841 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.1%, this climb is HC and demands a long, sustained effort. The first 6 km, with gradients between 1% and 5%, let you find a rhythm, but the 6-8 km section, at 8% then 7%, ramps up the difficulty. The decisive point is the 12-13 km stretch at 19%, which can blow the legs of the least prepared riders, before a more consistent finish between 3% and 5%.
Tips for the effort:
1. Save something in the tank early on. Between 0 and 6 km, hold a steady rhythm and don't get dragged along by efforts that are too fast while the road is still relatively rolling.
2. Use the downhill section to recover. Between 10 and 12 km, the road dips downhill, the ideal time to drink, eat and get your legs ready before the 19% wall.
3. Tackle the wall seated in an easy gear. At 12-13 km, keep a smooth, steady cadence, then gradually push back on in the final section from 13 to 16.6 km, where the gradients stay moderate.
