Difficulty analysis: La Roche-aux-Faucons is a 3rd category climb, 4.7 km long with 186 m of elevation gain, and an average gradient of 3.9%. The heart of the climb lies between km 0.5 and km 3.5, where the gradient hovers between 5% and 6% over fairly even sections of about 500 m. The effort is sustained but never truly steep, which makes it a demanding ascent, mainly because of its length and consistency.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first section from km 0.0 to km 0.5, at 4%, is there to warm you up: settle into a rhythm you can hold all the way to the top.
2. Keep the effort steady on the hardest part. Between km 0.5 and km 3.5, with gradients of 5 to 6%, favour a smooth, constant cadence over attacks, and stay in the saddle as much as you can.
3. Use the flat to recover. The stretch from km 4.0 to km 4.5, at 0%, gives you a real breather: catch your breath, then push on to the summit over the final metres.
