Climb analysis: This Category 1 climb is genuinely hard, with an average gradient of 7% over 9.6 km. Its main challenge is how irregular it is, with three demanding sections: a first wall at 13% between km 3.0 and 3.5, a very steep stretch at 12% between km 6.5 and 7.0, and a sustained finish at 9-10% between km 8.0 and 9.5. The km 5.0 to 6.0 section gives you a short respite at 1%, which is crucial for recovery.
Pacing advice:
1. Managing the changes in gradient: Don't go too hard in the first kilometers (4-5%). Use the flat section (km 5.0-6.0) to actively recover (small gear, high cadence) before the critical sections.
2. Anticipating the "walls": Get ready for the change of rhythm before the steep sections (km 3.0, 6.5, 8.0). Shift to your small ring early to keep your cadence up and avoid blowing up.
3. Mental side of the finish: The last kilometer (9%) is brutal. Save a little something for that final test after the relative breather between km 7.5 and 8.0 (3%).
