Difficulty breakdown: At 22.8 km for 1159 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.1%, this HC climb is all about pacing over the long haul. The difficulty doesn't come from a steady gradient: the steepest sections, like km 17-18 at 10% or km 11-13 at 9%, alternate with rolling stretches such as km 9-10 and 19-20 at 0%. The short descents at km 7-8 and 15-16 give you a bit of respite, but don't forget the length of the effort. The finale, with 9% between km 20 and 21, will be the most punishing section.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace your start Don't go out too hard in the first km at 9%, so you have something left for the steepest ramps.
2. Recover on the flat bits Use the 0% sections at km 9-10 and 19-20 to drink, eat and get your breath back.
3. Attack the 9-10% walls On km 11-13, 17-18 and 20-21, stick to an easy gear, keep a steady cadence and stay seated to save your legs.
