Climb difficulty analysis: This 3.3 km climb has a very irregular profile, and that's what defines how hard it is. The 7.7% average gradient is misleading. The middle section (KM 1.5 to 2.5) is almost flat, even slightly downhill (-4%), offering a false respite between two extremely hard sections: a first kilometer of ramping gradients (up to 12%) and a brutal finale of 800m at over 13% (peaking at 15%).
Effort tips:
1. Managing your pace: Resist the temptation to go over the limit in the first 1.5 km, despite the steep ramps. The goal is to reach the final section with something left in the tank.
2. Make the most of the breather: The flat/downhill 1 km in the middle is crucial. Use it to recover actively (spin easy) without losing speed.
3. Mental prep for the finale: Anticipate the final kilometer, the steepest one (15%). Save some strength to hold a steady rhythm through this decisive stretch.
