Analysis of the difficulty: This 6.6 km climb has an atypical profile. The first section (up to KM 2.0) is very gentle, with even two short descents, which delays the real effort. The real difficulty is concentrated in the central 3 kilometers (KM 3.0 to 6.0), where the gradient varies between 5% and 8%, with a peak of 8% over 500m. The final stretch (KM 6.0-6.5) ends with a descent. The total elevation gain of 301m earns it a Category 1 rating.
Tips for the effort:
1. Managing the start: Don't get fooled by the easy opening with its downhill sections. Use these first kilometers to find your rhythm at a moderate intensity without blowing your heart rate sky-high.
2. Preparing for the heart of the climb: From KM 3.0, the gradient ramps up significantly (8%). Tackle this section with appropriate gearing and a steady effort to avoid going into the red.
3. Holding on through the upper section: After the 8% peak, the gradient stays between 5% and 7%. Focus on a steady rhythm until KM 6.0, knowing the finish comes on a descent.
