Difficulty breakdown: A demanding 8.8 km climb with a brutal 9% average gradient. The difficulty lies in its consistency: over the first 8 km, the gradient never drops below 8%, with several stretches at 11-12% (KM 3.0-4.0 and KM 5.0-6.0). The only real breather is a short flat section at KM 6.5-7.0.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pacing the start: The first 500 metres at 11% demand that you settle into a rhythm straight away, or you'll blow up early.
2. Prepare for the hard sections: Ease off the pace slightly before the 12% ramps (around the 3rd and 5th km) so you can hold a steady power output.
3. Make the most of the breather: Use the flat section around 6.5 km to recover, spinning a light gear without stopping, before the final 10% kick.
