Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb has an uneven profile. The main challenge is the string of steep sections (8%, 7%) early on, followed by a significant descent (KM 3.0-4.5) that breaks your rhythm. The finish is tough, with a sustained 6-7% gradient over the last kilometre and a final ramp at 11%.

Pacing tips:

1. Start controlled: Don't go over the top trying to attack the steep early pitches. Save something in the tank for the harder finish.

2. Make the most of the descent: Use the downhill section (KM 3.0-4.5) to recover actively without losing all your momentum.

3. Managing the final: Get ready for the steep last part (from KM 6.0) and keep a bit of gear in reserve for the 11% wall at the end.
