Januario Carneiro is a climb of 6.2 kilometers (category 1). Januario Carneiro tops out at 1,151 m above sea level. It is located in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brasil. The average gradient is 4.9% with a maximum of 14.2%. The climb has 301 meters of elevation gain.
Difficulty analysis: This 6.2 km climb has a very uneven profile. The main challenge lies in two steep sections: a kilometre at 9% followed by a stretch at 11%, which account for most of the elevation gain. The negative-gradient sections (KM 1.0-2.0 and the end) give you crucial recovery opportunities, but the final push after a flat section demands another effort at 7%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Save your legs in the first kilometres. The gradient starts gently (3%) before a sharp ramp to 9%. Use this opening to find your rhythm without burning matches.
2. Make the most of the descents to recover. The two kilometres of negative gradient (KM 1.0-2.0) are a gift. Ease off the pedals and recover actively before tackling the toughest section (11%).
3. Plan for the finish. After a long, easy stretch (KM 4.0-5.0), the road pitches back up to 7%. Keep some in the tank to kick on over this last significant kilometre before the finish.
