Difficulty analysis: Puerto Los Jiotes is a 3.5 km climb with 219 m of elevation gain, averaging 6.3%, which puts it in Category 3. The profile is fairly steady, but the gradient varies between 4% (km 1.0-1.5) and 9% (km 3.0-3.5), and the finale is the steepest section. The 8% stretch at km 1.5-2.0 and the 7% stretch at km 2.5-3.0 break up the rhythm and require good pacing. The effort is therefore sustained and progressive, with no real respite.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Settle into a steady pace from the start. On the km 0.0-0.5 section at 6%, don't go out too hard, so you have something left for the 9% section at km 3.0-3.5.
2. Make the most of the 4% stretch. Between km 1.0 and km 1.5, the gradient eases to 4%: this is the perfect time to drink, take on some food and recover before the 8% section from km 1.5-2.0.
3. Adjust your gearing for the finale. On the final kilometre at 9%, favour a high cadence and a gear that's easy enough to avoid blowing up too early.
