Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 1 climb is a sustained effort over 10.4 km. The 6.7% average gradient is deceptive: the profile is uneven, with three stretches at 8% (km 1-2, 3-5) and a crucial kilometre at 9% (km 8-9) near the end, which makes it the hardest part of the climb.

How to manage the effort:

1. Pace yourself from the bottom: Resist the urge to go over the top in the first kilometres at 8%. Settle into a steady effort, based on the 6-7% sections.

2. Save something for the finish: Keep some energy in reserve for the 9% kilometre after 8 km of climbing. That's the key to avoiding blowing up and finishing strong.

3. Use the easier stretches: The 5% sections (km 2-3, 5-6, final) are chances to recover by easing off slightly without losing time.
