Difficulty breakdown: At 6.6 km for 292 m of elevation gain, this Category 1 climb is decided mainly in its opening section. The gradients of 9% (0.0-0.5 km), 14% (0.5-1.0 km) and 12% (1.0-1.5 km) concentrate most of the effort into the first few kilometers. The 1.5-2.0 km stretch, at 7%, keeps the pressure on before a flat section at 0% between 2.0 and 2.5 km. The rest is more uneven, with moderate gradients and a few descending sections that give you a bit of respite.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Manage the start. Don't go out too hard on the 9% section (0.0-0.5 km), because the 14% that follows (0.5-1.0 km) will drain your legs quickly.
2. Use the flat section. Take advantage of the 0% stretch (2.0-2.5 km) to recover, drink and regroup with the bunch before the second half.
3. Stay steady after the flat. On the 3% (2.5-3.0 km) and 4% (3.5-4.0 km) sections, hold a steady cadence rather than launching costly attacks.
