Tips

Difficulty analysis: At 29 km averaging 7.6%, this is a genuine HC climb, hard because of both its length and its 2,204m of elevation gain. The real challenge is the uneven gradient: several sections at 8-9% (KM 5, 10, 17-18, 21-22, 26-27) alternate with short breathers at 3-4% (KM 11, 13-15, 28), which wrecks your rhythm.

Tips for the effort:

1. Pacing: Don't go too hard over the first few steady kilometres at 7-8%. Hold a steady power output, even on the easier stretches, so you still have something left for the back end.

2. Make the most of the breathers: The flatter kilometres (like between 11 and 15) are crucial. Ease off a touch to recover, but don't drop your speed too much.

3. Prepare for the hard sections: Save some mental and physical reserves for the nasty 9% sections, especially at KM 21, which comes right after a more rolling stretch.
