Difficulty breakdown: At 19 km with 1,149 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.1%, this climb easily earns its HC status. The first 14 km alternate between 2% and 7%, grinding down your legs without giving you any real respite, aside from the descent between km 10.0 and 11.0. The finale is where it's decided: from km 15.0 to 16.0 through km 18.0 to 19.0, the gradient ranges from 10% to 15%, with a 15% section at km 15.0-16.0.
Tips for pacing the effort:
1. Save your legs early. In the opening kilometers (km 0.0-1.0 through km 4.0-5.0, between 2% and 3%), ride at a steady effort so you reach the base of the final with something in the tank.
2. Recover on the descent. Use the downhill section between km 10.0 and 11.0 to top up your fluids and carbs, without totally switching off your concentration.
3. Manage the final with a light gear. From km 15.0 to 16.0 through km 18.0 to 19.0, favor a high cadence and a steady effort, because the 15% ramp at km 15.0-16.0 can quickly blow up a pace that's too aggressive.
