Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Hors Catégorie climb covers 10.1 km and is tough because of its high average gradient (9.6%). The difficulty peaks at the end, with sections of 11% and 13% between km 6 and km 8, after a slightly "easier" stretch.

Tips for the effort:

1. Pacing: Start steady over the first kilometres (6-7%) so you still have something in the tank before the steepest pitches.

2. Save something for the final ramp: Keep some legs and some head for the crucial stretch between 6 and 8 km, the steepest part of the climb.

3. Active recovery: Use the last two kilometres at 6% to ease off a little and finish strong.
