Tips

Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb is moderately tough over the first half, with gradients often between 5% and 8%. The hardest section is between KM 2.5 and KM 4.0, where the gradient hits 8% and then 7%. The second half (KM 4.5-6.5) is noticeably easier (1% to 5%), before a short ramp back up to 6% for the finish.

Tips for the effort:

1. Managing the start: Resist the urge to go too hard off the line. The first km ramps up at 7%, so settle into a steady rhythm to avoid blowing up early.

2. Anticipating the wall: The KM 2.5-4.0 stretch (8% and 7%) is the key section. Go into it with energy in reserve and a controlled cadence.

3. Making the most of the easier section: Use the very gentle part (KM 4.5-6.5, gradient of 1% to 3%) to recover actively and prepare for the final push at 6%.
