Tips

Difficulty analysis: This HC climb is demanding because of its high average gradient (9.9%) over a substantial distance. The difficulty is amplified by a very brutal finish, with gradients of 13% between kilometres 6 and 9, followed by a final section at 12%.

Pacing advice:

1. Pacing: Start conservatively to save your legs, as the hardest section (13%) comes after the halfway point.

2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The gradients vary significantly (from 6% to 13%). Adjust your gearing and effort as you approach each section, especially for the three steepest kilometres.

3. Mental reserves for the finish: Even after the peak of difficulty, the last two kilometres keep up a severe gradient (9% then 12%). Save some energy for this final test.
