Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb has a very uneven profile. The challenge lies less in the average gradient (5.4%) than in the string of tough sections, especially the 9% and 10% kilometres late in the climb (KM 7-8, 12-14), preceded by a short, deceptive descent (KM 3-4). At 14.1 km with 760m of elevation gain, it's a real test of endurance.
Pacing advice:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The first few kilometres are easy (1-3%). Resist the urge to push hard and save your legs for the harder sections.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: Use the descent at KM 4 to recover actively before the series of 6-9% ramps. On the 1% sections (KM 10-11), ease off slightly to recover.
3. Save something for the finish: The last three kilometres (9%, 10%) are the steepest. Manage your effort accordingly so you don't blow up near the top.
