Difficulty breakdown: The climb of the Magoster has a three-act profile. The first kilometer is very demanding (gradients of 7%, 10% and 11%), followed by a long flat-to-descending section of over 2 km. The gradient then gradually picks up again with moderate sections around 6% between km 4.5 and 6, before an uneven finish. The main challenge lies in managing your effort after the brutal start.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing the start: Resist the temptation to go too hard in that 11% opening. Save some in the tank for what comes next.
2. Making the most of the flat: Use the flat section (km 2.0 to 3.5) to recover and refuel without losing pace.
3. Ramping back up gradually: Anticipate the return of the gradient around km 4.5 so you can find a steady rhythm and avoid blowing up.
