Difficulty breakdown: This 4.6 km climb is moderately hard over its first half (4-5% gradients), but its Cat 1 status comes down to two key sections: a brutal 13% stretch over 467m (KM 3.0-3.5) and a deceptive 1% flat (KM 3.5-4.0) before a final 8% ramp. The 7% average gradient is pulled up by these two tough segments.
Pacing advice:
1. Manage your effort before KM 3.0: The first kilometers at a manageable gradient (4-5%) are crucial for saving your legs. Don't overpace in anticipation of the 13% wall.
2. Prepare for the change of rhythm at KM 3.0: The gradient jumps suddenly to 13%. Shift to a higher cadence and get out of the saddle if needed to get over this tough section without blowing up.
3. Use the flat (KM 3.5-4.0) to recover: The 1% section is your chance to bring your heart rate down and get your head and legs ready for the final push up the 8% ramp over the last 500 meters.
