Difficulty breakdown: This Category 2 climb has an uneven tactical profile. The first half (KM 0.5-2.0) is the hardest, with three consecutive sections at 7%, 9% and 8%. There's a welcome breather between KM 2.5 and 4.5 (gradients of 2% to 4%), before the difficulty ramps back up progressively over the last three kilometres.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Manage the start: Don't get caught out by the nasty opening stretch. Avoid going out too hard and settle into a steady rhythm so you get through the first 2 kilometres without already being in the red.
2. Make the most of the easier section: Use the flatter middle section (KM 2.5-4.5) to recover actively, drop down a gear or two and get your breathing back under control before the final part.
3. Save something for the finish: The gradient steepens noticeably after KM 5.5 (6%, then 7%). Keep some energy in reserve for this last hard section and make sure you're in a gear that lets you keep your cadence up.
