Difficulty analysis: This 1st category climb is genuinely hard, with a sustained average gradient of 6.8%. The real difficulty lies in its irregularity: a very steep section at 12% between 1.5 and 2.0 km, followed by a false flat at 1% at KM 5.0-5.5 and a short descent at -3% around 7.0 km. These changes break your rhythm and demand disciplined pacing.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing the changes of pace: Plan ahead for the tough stretch (KM 1.5-4.0 at 8-12%) so you can tackle the steep ramps without blowing up. Use the false flat (KM 5.0-5.5) and the descent (KM 7.0-7.5) to recover actively.
2. Run an easy gear range: The 6.8% average and the 12% spikes call for a gearing setup that lets you hold a steady cadence (>70 rpm) on the steepest parts.
3. Split the climb into sections: Break your effort into three parts: a demanding start (0-4 km), a middle section with recovery spots (4-7 km), and a steady finish (7-8.4 km) to spread your energy efficiently.
