Difficulty breakdown: At 20.1 km for 1395 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.9%, the climb of Guadalupe from Belgica is rated HC. Its difficulty lies mainly in its consistency: most of the kilometres sit between 6% and 9%, with no real respite.

Pacing tips:
1. Don't start too fast. The 8% of the first kilometre may be tempting, but the 10% section at km 2.0-3.0 comes early and costs dearly to anyone who has gone into the red.
2. Recover on the flat. Use the false flat between km 3.0 and 5.0 to drink, eat and relax your shoulders, so you reach the second half with some freshness left in your legs.
3. Manage the last five kilometres. Km 16.0-19.0 stay between 7% and 8%, so keep a steady, seated cadence before you go for the final metres at 1%.
