Climb analysis: This hors catégorie climb covers 27.5 km at a fairly moderate average gradient of 3.9%. The difficulty lies in its length and its irregularity. Two downhill sections (KM 7-10, with a -7% gradient) break up the rhythm, and several stretches at 5-7% demand sustained effort, especially between KM 3-7 and in the final part of the course (KM 23-27).
Pacing advice:
1. Ride to the distance: Don't blow up in the first kilometres, which are easier. The main effort comes between KM 3-7 and KM 23-27.
2. Make the most of the descents: The flat or downhill sections (KM 7-10) are crucial for recovering actively and bringing your heart rate down before the steep sections.
3. Save something for the finish: The last part (KM 23-27.5) sits at a steady 5%, so keep some energy in reserve to hold your tempo all the way to the summit.
