Tips

Difficulty analysis: This 4.3 km climb gains 156 m of elevation, with an average gradient of 3.7%, which puts it in the 3rd category. The first third (KM 0.0-2.0) is rolling, with a descending section at -2% between KM 1.0 and 1.5. The real difficulty is concentrated between KM 2.0-2.5 (8%) and KM 3.5-4.0 (5%), where the gradient stays sustained for nearly 2 km. KM 4.0-4.3 at 2% then offers a short breather before the finish.

Pacing tips:

1. Pace yourself from the bottom. Don't go out too hard in the KM 0.0-0.5 section at 3%, so you have something left for the steepest part.

2. Prepare for KM 2.0-2.5. Shift into an easier gear before this 8% section and keep a steady cadence, without any surges.

3. Hold it together on the final stretch. Don't ease off in KM 3.5-4.0 at 5%, then use the KM 4.0-4.3 section at 2% to push again without blowing up.
