Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb has two distinct phases. The first 4 km are relatively gentle (average gradient of 2.1%), which makes for a deceptive warm-up. The real difficulty starts after KM 4.0, with a demanding 4 km section where the gradient constantly stays above 9%, peaking at 13% between KM 6.0 and 6.5. This central part is clearly the most selective.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing the first part: Resist the temptation to go too hard over the first few flatter kilometers. Use this section to find a steady breathing rhythm and save your energy.
2. Preparing for the wall from KM 4: Go into the 4-8 km stretch (11%, 10%, 13%, 11%) mentally and physically ready. Shift to an easier gear right at the start of this section to keep a high cadence and avoid blowing up your legs.
3. Recovering on the brief respite: The short easing between KM 8.5 and 9.0 (4%) is your chance to recover a little before the final push over the last 500 meters at 7%.
