Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb is a sustained effort because of its length (7.7 km) and the recurring 7% gradients, especially over the first and last kilometres. The middle section (KM 2.0-4.0) gives a bit of respite with gradients of 3% to 5%, but the finale is still demanding, with three consecutive 7% segments between KM 5.0 and 6.5.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The first kilometre alternates between 7% and 4%. Don't go out too hard, and find a steady tempo before you reach the long run of 7% gradients that starts after KM 1.0.
2. Make use of the easier sections: Use the 3% (KM 2.0-2.5) and 4% (KM 4.0-4.5, KM 6.5-7.5) stretches to recover by easing off slightly, without slowing down abruptly.
3. Save something for the finale: Be ready for the series of 7% pitches between KM 5.0 and 6.5. Manage your effort on the steady 6% section from KM 4.5-5.0 so you reach this key stretch with enough left in the tank.
