Difficulty breakdown: This HC climb covers 23.2 km with an average gradient of 7.5% and 1733m of elevation gain. The real challenge is the uneven profile: several steep sections (KM 5-6 and 7-8 at 12%, KM 13-14 at 10%) are broken up by easier stretches, and there are two almost completely flat sections (KM 2-3 and 17-18).
Pacing advice:
1. Settle into a rhythm from the start: The opening ramp hits 8%. Don't go out too hard, and find a tempo you can hold so you don't build up too much lactic acid before the first 12% section.
2. Use the flat sections to recover: KM 2-3 and 17-18 (0% gradient) are crucial. Ease off the pedals, drink, and get your cadence back without losing all your momentum.
3. Prepare for the "walls": Save something for the three main sections above 10%. On these parts, keep your cadence high if you can, so you don't blow up on the extreme gradients.
