The climb
Alto de La Comella climbs 3.8 km at an average of 5.4%, gaining 205 m to a summit at 1,344 m. The average hides a lot: the kilometres swing widely either side of it, so the climb is a sequence of ramps and easier stretches rather than a constant effort.
The hardest kilometre measures 9.4% and comes in the opening third of the climb, and 2 kilometres of the ascent average more than 8%. It does not relent at the top: the final kilometre is still 8.9%.
