Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb is genuinely hard, with a tough finish. The average gradient of 5.2% is pretty standard, but the profile breaks down into two key sections: kilometre 4.0-5.0 at 7% and, more importantly, kilometre 11.0-12.0 at 9%, which is the hardest part of the effort before the finish.
Pacing tips:
1. Ease into it: The first kilometre is only 1%. Use it to settle into a steady rhythm without going over your limit.
2. Save something for the two ramps: Keep some in the tank for the 7% section (KM 4-5) and, above all, for the decisive 9% stretch (KM 11-12). Ease off your pace slightly before these sections.
3. Manage the finish: After the 9% ramp, the gradient drops to 6% over the final 900 meters. This is the time to attack if you've paced your effort well.
