Climb analysis: This short (1.9 km) but punchy climb averages a steep 8.7%. Its main difficulty lies in its irregularity, with two very hard sections: a 16% ramp over 200m at the start and a 14% wall over 200m in the last third. The rest of the climb alternates between moderate (5-8%) and steep (10%) gradients.
Pacing tips:
1. Start easy: Don't blow up on the first 16%. Settle into a controlled rhythm so you don't burn through your matches too early.
2. Save something for the final wall: Keep some energy in the tank for the 14% section between 1.4 and 1.6 km. Use the 5-7% stretches to recover.
3. Gearing: Run a gear ratio suited to the steep pitches (16%, 14%) so you can keep a smooth, efficient cadence without grinding your legs.
