Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb covers 7.2 km with an average gradient of 8.4% and 604m of elevation gain. Its main difficulty is its irregularity, with very punishing sections such as the 12% kilometre (1.0-1.5 km), the 15% ramp (6.0-6.5 km), and a slightly descending stretch (-3% between 5.5-6.0 km) that breaks your rhythm just before a tough finish.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing: Don't get caught out by the steep opening kilometres (7-12%). Start at a measured pace to save energy for the critical sections, especially the 15% wall in the last 500 metres.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The descent between 5.5 and 6.0 km is a trap. Use it to recover actively (spin easy) without fully letting off, so you tackle the final climb ready to go.
3. Break it down mentally: Split the climb into chunks based on the changes in gradient. Focus on one segment at a time, especially on the steepest parts (1.0-2.0 km and 6.0-6.5 km), to keep your concentration.
