Tips

Difficulty analysis: Over 2.8 km for 149 m of elevation gain, this Category 2 climb averages 5.2%, tough without being brutal. The hardest section is between km 0.5 and km 1.0 at 10%, followed by a more rolling stretch at 3% between km 1.0 and km 1.5. The second half stays honest at 7% from km 1.5 to km 2.0, before a downhill section at -3% from km 2.0 to km 2.5 that gives you a breather before the finish.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Pace yourself from the start On the km 0.0 to km 0.5 stretch at 6%, keep the effort moderate so you reach the 10% ramp with something left in the tank.

2. Recover on the 3% section Between km 1.0 and km 1.5, keep a smooth, steady cadence to recover a little before the 7% grind from km 1.5 to km 2.0.

3. Use the descent to rehydrate On the -3% downhill from km 2.0 to km 2.5, spin the legs out and drink up so you hit the final section, a 1% drag between km 2.5 and km 2.8, with fresh legs.
