Difficulty analysis: This hors catégorie climb is genuinely hard, with a sustained average gradient of 6.4%. The difficulty is compounded by an uneven profile: a very steep section at 9% between km 3 and 4, followed by a long stretch at 8%, then a relative breather at km 6-7 (2%) before a demanding finish at 8% over the last kilometre.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself on the steep sections: Expect the big effort between km 3 and 5 (8-9%) and don't blow up your heart rate right from the start of the climb.
2. Make the most of the breather: Use the 2% kilometre (km 6-7) to recover actively (spin easily in a small gear) and get ready for the final part.
3. Save something for the finish: The last kilometre at 8% is crucial. Don't empty the tank before it and tackle that section with legs still fresh.
