Difficulty analysis: This Cat 1 climb has real difficulty in its middle section. The 6.5% average gradient is deceptive: after 2.5 km of relatively moderate terrain (5-6%), the gradient ramps up sharply between km 3.0 and 6.5, with a punchy sequence of 9%, 8%, 10%, then 9% again. This 3.5 km stretch averaging almost 9% is the heart of the climb. The finish is easy, with 2% then flat for the last 700 metres.
Pacing advice:
1. Save something for the middle: Don't be fooled by the manageable start. Keep your pace under control over the first 3 km so you hit the steepest part (km 3 to 6.5) with some energy in the tank.
2. Prepare for the km 4 wall: The kilometre between 4.0 and 4.5 is the steepest (10%). Ease off slightly just before it (km 3.5-4.0 at 8%) so you can get through this critical section without blowing up.
3. Make the most of the finish: Once you've crested km 6.5, the gradient drops to 6% and then becomes very gentle. You can gradually increase your pace over the final kilometre to finish strong.
