Tommy, as andyp says the hills are just long, about 4km in length from memory. I do remember one short sharp bitch of a climb about 2/3rds of the way through 2 1/2 years ago, since then they've changed the route so it might not be in this year's staging.
I did bugger all preparation and did the ride in 6hrs 15m (it was 100 miles back then) so for anyone with basic fitness I proved that it isn't impossible.
Enjoy the descents!
