Difficulty breakdown: At 15.9 km for 753 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.7%, the Djebel Ouarsenis from Bou Caïd is a beyond-category climb that demands real commitment over the long haul. The profile is uneven: most of the kilometres sit between 4% and 6%, with two near-flat sections (km 5-7 and km 12-13) that give you a bit of breathing room. The real difficulty is in the final part, where km 14-15.9 average 9% and offer no respite whatsoever.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Don't go out too hard. The opening kilometres at 6% (km 0-1) tempt you into setting a pace that's too aggressive; settle into a steady rhythm right from the foot of the climb.
2. Recover on the flat bits. Make the most of the almost flat sections (km 5-7 and km 12-13) to drink, eat and get your breathing back under control before the long ramps.
3. Save something for the finale. Dose your effort until km 14 so that you tackle the last 1.9 km at 9% with enough in the tank, and keep a gear you can actually turn over.
