Difficulty analysis: This 1st category climb is short (3.3 km) but very steep (9.3% average). Its difficulty lies in the succession of extremely steep sections (13%, 12%) and shorter, gentler stretches (5%, 4%) that make it hard to find a steady rhythm. The first kilometer is particularly demanding, with gradients of 11% and 13%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Handling the start: Don't let the very hard opening gradient (11-13%) get into your head. Select a supple gear and hold a controlled rhythm to avoid blowing up your heart rate within the first few hundred meters.
2. Making the most of the breaks: Use the 5% (KM 1.5-2.0) and 4% (KM 3.0-3.3) sections to recover actively, keeping a good cadence without mashing the gear, so you reach the final kilometers at 10-12% with something left in the tank.
3. Planning for the finale: The last steep section (KM 2.5-3.0 at 12%) leads straight to the finish. Keep some effort in reserve to maintain a good tempo on this decisive stretch before the final flat.
