Difficulty breakdown: At 5.4 km for 267 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.9%, the Col de Tlata is a Cat 2 climb that is demanding but steady. The hardest sections are the 0.5-1.0 km, 1.5-2.0 km and 3.0-3.5 km stretches, all at 8%. The 3.0-4.5 km section, which strings together 8%, 1% and then 6%, needs careful management, because fatigue builds up right at that point on the climb.
Pacing tips:
1. Pacing the start Don't go out too hard on the first 0.0-0.5 km at 4%, and save some in the tank for the 8% ramps that come straight after.
2. Recovering on the easier sections Make the most of the 1.0-1.5 km stretch, which dips slightly (-1%), and then the 3.5-4.0 km and 5.0-5.4 km sections at 1%, to spin a relaxed cadence and recover.
3. Preparing for the 8% ramps Get into an easy enough gear before the 1.5-2.0 km and 3.0-3.5 km sections, and keep a steady cadence to avoid surging and jerky pedaling on the steep stuff.
