Tips

Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb is genuinely hard but well balanced. The first half is the most demanding, with gradients of 6% to 8% over the first 2.5 km. The difficulty eases slightly in the middle (KM 3.0-3.5 at 4%) before returning with two sections at 7% between KM 4.0 and 5.0. The final part is less steep (4%), giving you a chance to recover before the finish.

How to manage the effort:

1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go too hard in the first 500m at 7-8%. Settle into a steady rhythm to avoid blowing up early with lactic build-up.

2. Plan for the mid-climb "wall": Use the easier stretch (KM 3.0-3.5 at 4%) to recover and get ready to attack the two kilometres at 7% that follow.

3. Pace the finish: The last 900m at 4% is a false flat up. Ramp up your effort gradually if you've saved some energy.
