Difficulty breakdown: This 18.3 km HC climb is a serious test because of its length and its 1223m of elevation gain. The difficulty lies in a string of steep sections (several stretches at 8-9%) between km 3 and km 8, followed by a short breather around km 8-9 (4%). The finish is all about tactics, with a slight descent at km 16 and an almost flat stretch before the line.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Handle the start: The first 8 km are the steepest (average gradient of 7.4%). Don't go out too hard. Settle into a steady rhythm to save your legs for later.
2. Make the most of the easier sections: The stretch between km 8 and km 12 (average gradient of 5%) and km 15 (2%) are good chances to recover and take on food and fluids without losing too much speed.
3. Prepare for the finish: The descent at km 16 and the false flat at the end mean you'll need to ramp up the effort again. Save some energy so you can keep your power high over the last part.
