Tips

Difficulty analysis: This category 2 climb covers 5.4 km for 243 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 4.5%. It's a steady, demanding ascent rather than a wall, and the difficulty comes mainly from its length. Most of the sections sit between 4% and 6%, with an easier stretch at km 3.0-3.5 at 2%. The final part, with km 4.0-4.5 at 6% followed by km 5.0-5.4 at 7%, will test your legs.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Pace your first kilometres. On the km 0.0-0.5 section at 5%, settle into a steady rhythm so you don't burn through your reserves too early on a climb this long.

2. Recover on the km 3.0-3.5 section. The 2% gradient gives you a chance to pick up the cadence, drink, and refocus before the steeper second half.

3. Save something for the finish. Tackle the km 4.0-4.5 section at 6% with control, then dig deep on the km 5.0-5.4 stretch at 7%, keeping a smooth cadence and an appropriate gear.
