Analysis of the difficulty:
This 4th category climb has a progressive difficulty. The first three kilometers are moderate (average gradient of 2.3%), but the difficulty rises noticeably over the last third, with a constant 6% gradient over the final 1.4 kilometers. It's this final section that defines the character of the climb.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Save something for the end: Start at a steady pace on the first, less steep section so you still have some in the tank when you hit the 6% segment.
2. Anticipate the change in gradient: Around the 2.5 km mark, get ready mentally and physically for the steeper section. Shifting down to an easier gear early makes the transition smoother.
3. Settle into a rhythm on the hard part: With the 6% gradient holding steady to the top, find a gear that lets you keep a consistent cadence all the way to the summit without surging.
