Difficulty analysis: This 1st category climb is a sustained effort, with an average gradient of 9% over 6.3 km. The difficulty is compounded by a very tough central section between KM 2.0 and 4.5, where the gradient hovers around or above 10% almost non-stop.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing yourself through the middle section: Plan ahead for the hard stretch (KM 2.0 to 4.5 at 10-11%) and hold back from the start so you don't blow up.
2. Making the most of the breaks: The easier sections (KM 2.5-3.0 at 6% and KM 5.5-6.0 at 5%) are good chances to recover without losing too much time.
3. Keeping a steady rhythm: The final part is very easy (1% over the last 300 metres), so don't launch your sprint too early and use this last bit to ease off the pressure.
