Difficulty breakdown: The Nator from Kerm Ali covers 4.6 km for 297 m of elevation gain, an average gradient of 6.4%, which earns it its 1st category rating. The climb splits into two parts: a stiff opening from km 0.0 to km 1.5, with gradients of 6% to 10%, then a tougher stretch from km 3.0 to km 4.5. The section from km 3.5 to km 4.0, at 13%, is the crux of the climb. The profile gives you very little respite, so you need to keep a steady effort from bottom to top.
Pacing tips:
1. Hold a steady rhythm from the start. Don't go out too hard over the first kilometres at 6-10%, or you'll arrive at the 13% section with no legs left.
2. Make the most of the slightly downhill section from km 1.5 to km 2.0. Use this stretch at -1% to recover and loosen up your legs without losing too much momentum.
3. Get ready for the 13% section from km 3.5 to km 4.0. Shift to your small ring by km 3.0 and keep a smooth cadence so you can tackle the steepest part without blowing up.
