Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb is genuinely tough because of its uneven profile. The average gradient of 7.1% is steep, but it's the succession of very steep sections (9%, 10%, 9%) between km 1.5 and 4.0 that forms the real crux of the climb. The hardest kilometre sits between 2.5 and 3.0, averaging 10%.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing: Don't be fooled by the relatively "easy" start. Save some legs for the central three kilometres (1.5 to 4.0). Find a steady rhythm you can hold even on the 10% stretches.
2. Making the most of the breathers: The moderate sections (3% at km 0.5-1.0 and 4% near the end) are good chances to recover a little without fully easing off.
3. Mental preparation: The difficulty isn't linear. Mentally, break the climb into chunks and conquer the three critical sections one at a time to make the effort more manageable.
