Tips

Difficulty breakdown: With 3.4 km for 209 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.2%, this Cat 2 climb is tough without being brutal. The hard part is the first 1.5 km, where the road sits at a steady 8%. After that it eases off gradually, with 6% between 1.5 and 2.0 km, then 5% between 2.0 and 2.5 km, before dropping to 3% between 2.5 and 3.0 km. The 3.0-3.4 km section has a -11% gradient, which is the descent after the summit.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Pace yourself from the bottom. The first 1.5 km at 8% come one after another with no respite, so start at a pace you can sustain and pick a gear that lets you keep a smooth, steady cadence.

2. Recover between 1.5 and 2.5 km. The 6% then 5% sections give you some relative relief, the perfect moment to drink, get some food in, and relax your upper body.

3. Finish strong, then descend carefully. Push a little harder through the 2.5-3.0 km section at 3%, then tackle the -11% descent between 3.0 and 3.4 km, braking before the corners.
