Difficulty breakdown: The Adrar Oumaza is a demanding Hors Catégorie climb: over 5.3 km it packs 516 m of elevation gain at an average gradient of 9.8%. Between km 0.5 and km 4.5 the road stays relentlessly steep, with sections at 10%, 11%, 12% and even 13%, so the effort is constant and there is very little room to recover. Only the first 500 m, at 5%, offer any real warm-up, while the last 300 m, at 2%, let you loosen up the legs before the finish.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace the start In the first 500 m at 5%, don't go out too hard so you still have something left for the 11% section between km 0.5 and km 1.0.
2. Handle the 13% section Between km 2.5 and km 3.0, stay seated if you can, pick an easy gear and keep a steady cadence.
3. Rebuild after km 4.5 Use the last 300 m at 2% to recover, then gradually ramp up the pace all the way to the line.
