Tips

Climb difficulty analysis: This climb has an atypical profile, with 9 km of completely flat road (0%), followed by 3 km of significant gradients (2-7%) that account for most of the elevation gain. The difficulty lies in this abrupt change of rhythm rather than in the overall average gradient of 1.4%, which is very low.

Effort management tips:

  • Ride in a group on the flat to save your energy over the first 9 kilometers.
  • Anticipate the change in gradient at KM 9 and ease into it progressively to avoid a sudden spike in effort.
  • Manage your pace over KM 10-11 (7%), the steepest section, by staying within your target effort zone.
