Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard, with a distance of 5.5 km and an average gradient of 5.4%. The main challenge is the uneven profile: two steep sections at 8% between km 2.5-3.0 and km 4.5-5.0 break the rhythm after easier stretches.
How to manage the effort:
1. Prepare for the two 8% ramps: Save your legs on the 3-4% sections (KM 0.0-0.5, 2.0-2.5, 3.0-3.5) so you hit the two steepest parts with your cadence intact.
2. Run a flexible gear: With gradients this irregular, you'll need to shift often. Stand up briefly on the 8% if you need to pick the cadence back up.
3. Save something for the finish: The last half kilometre at 5% is manageable, but the section before it (8% over 500m) is demanding. Pace yourself so you don't go into the red in the final 500 metres.
