Tips

Difficulty analysis: Tlata is a demanding climb of 3.9 km for 335 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 8.7%. The hard part is in the first half: between KM 0.0 and KM 2.0, the gradient fluctuates between 11% and 16%, the steepest section being KM 1.0-1.5 at 16%. KM 2.0-3.5 then offers a relative respite, between 5% and 6%, before an almost flat finish on KM 3.5-3.9 at 1%. Rated Category 1, it mostly demands steady pacing and good management of the start.

Tips for the effort:

1. Pace your start Don't go out too hard on KM 0.0-0.5 at 11%, because you need to save some energy for the 16% ramp on KM 1.0-1.5.

2. Keep a steady cadence On KM 1.0-1.5, go for a gear you can turn over comfortably and keep a steady cadence to limit surges in effort.

3. Recover on the relative flat Use KM 2.0-3.5 at 5-6% to recover and get ready for the finish, then save some power for KM 3.5-3.9 at 1%.
