Difficulty analysis: At 5.3 km for 167 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.1%, the Tísek is a category 3 climb: accessible but demanding. The crux comes between km 1.5 and 2.5, where the road ramps up to 9% and then 6%, the steepest stretch on the col. The km 3.0-3.5 section, with a slight descent (-1%), gives you a bit of breathing room before the next kick to 6% over km 3.5-4.0. The final kilometres are rolling (0% to 2%), so you can hold a steady rhythm all the way to the summit.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. The first kilometres at 4% are deceptive: keep a steady cadence so you reach the 9% section with some legs left.
2. Prepare for the steepest section. On km 1.5-2.0 (9%), pick a gear you can turn over comfortably, stay seated, and keep a smooth cadence of 80 to 90 rpm.
3. Recover on the descent. Use the km 3.0-3.5 section (-1%) to spin out your legs and drink, before the 6% ramp on km 3.5-4.0.
