Difficulty analysis: Short but intense climb with a brutal average gradient of 8.8%. The challenge lies in the uneven profile: three sections at 11-12% (start, middle and finish) demand sustained power, separated by gentler stretches (3-7%) that offer a brief respite.
Pacing tips:
1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go too hard in the first kilometer at 11%. Save something in the tank for the 12% ramp at KM 2.0-2.5.
2. Make the most of the breaks: KM 2.5-4.0 (gradients of 3% to 7%) are crucial for recovering before the tough 11% finale.
3. Gear selection: Anticipate the sudden changes in gradient. A gear ratio suited to the 12% sections is essential.
