Difficulty breakdown: This category 3 climb has a mixed profile. The main challenge is a tough central section, with a 9% kilometre between 1.0 and 1.5 km, preceded by a 6% stretch. The finish ramps up too, with 7% over the last 400 metres, but the climb stays manageable thanks to recovery stretches at 4% in the middle.
Pacing tips:
1. Plan for the steep part: Pace yourself from the bottom so you reach the 9% kilometre without already being in the red.
2. Use the recovery stretches: Take advantage of the two kilometres at 4% (between 1.5 and 2.5 km) to recover and settle your heart rate before the steeper final section.
3. Save something for the finish: Keep spinning an easy gear over the last 900 metres (6% then 7%) so you can roll over the line comfortably.
