Difficulty analysis: A hors catégorie climb that's tough because of its length (40.8 km) and its substantial elevation gain (1997 m). The main challenge lies in its uneven profile: a rolling first section (KM 0-16), a significant descent (KM 16-19) that breaks your rhythm, and an extremely brutal finale over the last 4 km (gradients of 9% to 12%).
Pacing advice:
1. Find your rhythm in the first half: The gradients keep changing (3%-7%). Avoid redlining in the 6-7% sections so you save something for later.
2. Make the most of the descent (KM 16-19): Use it to recover actively without losing all your momentum before the climb resumes.
3. Save something for the finale: The last kilometers (KM 36-40.8) are decisive, with the steepest gradients of the climb. Manage your effort so you arrive at that section with fresh legs.
