Difficulty analysis: This 10.7 km climb with 590 m of elevation gain, averaging 5.5%, is a Category 1 climb and demands solid stamina over the long haul. The gradient stays almost constant at around 6% for most of the route, with no real respite, so it grinds your legs down little by little. Only the km 3.0-4.0 section, at 3%, offers a brief breather, while km 8.0-9.0, at 7%, is the hardest part. The finale, from km 10.0 to 10.7, stays at 6% and means you need to hold something back until the very end.
Tips for the effort:
1. Find a steady rhythm from the bottom Going too hard over the first kilometers at 6% is the biggest mistake to avoid, because you will pay for it dearly in the second half.
2. Make the most of the false flat at km 3.0-4.0 This 3% stretch is your chance to drink, fuel up and gently spin the gears back up without wasting energy.
3. Handle km 8.0-9.0 with a clear head Tackle this 7% section seated, with a smooth cadence, then save enough in the tank to finish km 10.0-10.7.
