Climb analysis: The Geulhemmerberg is a short but tough climb: 1.8 km for 64 m of elevation gain at an average gradient of 3.6%, which puts it in the 4th category. Most of the difficulty is concentrated in the first 800 metres, with 5% then 7% between 0.2 and 0.6 km, before 6% from 0.6 to 0.8 km. The second part, at 1 or 2%, gives you a bit of a breather, mainly a chance to recover before the finish.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace the start. In the first 0.2 km at 5%, don't go out too hard or you'll blow up before the 7% section.
2. Keep a comfortable gear between 0.2 and 0.6 km. On this 7% stretch, stay seated if you can, keep a steady cadence and avoid jerky pedalling.
3. Use the false flat at the top to go again. Between 0.8 and 1.8 km, the 1 to 2% gradients let you recover, then build your speed gradually up to the line.
