Difficulty analysis: At 7.4 km, with 239 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.2%, this 3rd category climb looks modest on paper. The real difficulty, though, is concentrated in the second half: from km 4.5 to the finish, the gradients hover between 6% and 9%, with only one breather at 1% between km 5.5 and 6.0. The first kilometres, almost rolling (0 to 2%), let you pace your effort without burning out.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Save your legs at the start. Ride at a steady pace over the first 4.5 km so you still have something in the tank for the final push.
2. Make the most of the flat section at km 5.5-6.0. This 1% stretch is your only real recovery: turn the pedals over, drink and eat at that point.
3. Keep a steady cadence in the final. Shift to a smaller gear from km 4.5 on and hold 80 to 90 rpm on the 8 and 9% sections between km 6.0 and 7.0.
