Difficulty analysis: This 42.7 km climb is a true test of endurance. The 8% average gradient is deceptive: the profile is very uneven, with plenty of changes in rhythm. The toughest sections are concentrated after the 25th km, especially at KM 32-33 (9%) and KM 26-27 (8%). The easy stretches at the start and the three short descents (KM 18, 33-35, 39-40) only offer brief breaks.
Pacing advice:
1. Steady pace is essential: Resist the urge to go hard on the early, easy gradients. The climb really starts after 10 km. Settle into a constant rhythm and pace yourself on the 6-7% sections.
2. Anticipate the "walls": Save some energy for the three critical kilometres (26-27, 30-31, 32-33). On these 8-9% sections, shift to an easier gear in advance to keep your cadence up.
3. Make the most of the descents: The downhill sections (KM 18, 33-35, 39-40) are crucial for recovering without pushing hard on the pedals. Ease off the pressure, and keep drinking.
