Difficulty breakdown: At 2.9 km for 198 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.7%, the Al Jissah is a Cat 2 climb that's tough but short. It builds gradually: the first kilometres (0.0-1.5) run between 4% and 6%, which gives you time to find your rhythm. The main crux is between km 2.0 and 2.5, with a 12% section, followed by a finish at 8% from km 2.5 to 2.9.
Tips for the effort:
1. Manage the start. Start steady from km 0.0 so you reach the base of the 12% ramp (km 2.0-2.5) with enough left in the tank.
2. Prepare for the 12% ramp. Shift to an easier gear before km 2.0, keep a smooth cadence and stay seated to save your legs.
3. Finish strong without blowing up. On the 8% finale (km 2.5-2.9), keep your cadence up and empty what's left in the tank all the way to the line.
