Difficulty breakdown: With 6.7 km for 239 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.6%, this Category 2 climb demands a sustained effort but remains doable for a well-trained rider. The toughest stretch is between km 0.5 and km 1.5, with gradients of 9% then 8%, which pack a big chunk of the effort right from the start. The second notable difficulty comes between km 4.0 and km 4.5 at 7%, while the flat section from km 2.0 to km 3.0 gives you a welcome breather. The finale, between km 6.5 and km 6.7 at 6%, still asks for something in the tank.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace your start: the 9% and then 8% from km 0.5 to km 1.5 will tempt you to go out too hard, so settle into a steady rhythm and save some legs for later.
2. Make the most of the flat: the 0% between km 2.0 and km 3.0 is your chance to recover, drink and fuel up before the 7% section from km 4.0 to km 4.5.
3. Manage the finish: after the descent from km 4.5 to km 5.0, tackle the final 6% ramp from km 6.5 to km 6.7 with a smooth cadence and steady pressure on the pedals.
