Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb covers 15.9 km and has a very uneven profile. The challenge lies in the succession of steep sections (8-12%) and flat or downhill stretches, notably a significant descent between km 7 and 9. The last third, with a kilometre at 12%, is particularly demanding.

Effort management tips:

1. Pace yourself from the start: The first three kilometres are tough (8-9%). Don't go out too hard, so you save your legs for the finale.

2. Make the most of the recovery sections: Use the low-gradient or downhill sections (km 3-5 and 7-9) to ease off, drink and recover before the harder parts.

3. Save something for km 12: Anticipate the 12% ramp by taking km 11 (8%) with restraint, so you can get through this crucial section without being on the limit.
