Difficulty breakdown: With 2.2 km for 142 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.5%, this 3rd category climb is tough but short. The hard part comes at the start, with two sections at 9% (km 0.0-0.5 and km 0.5-1.0) that require you to pace your effort right from the bottom. The gradient eases to 7% between km 1.0 and 1.5, then to 3% between km 1.5 and 2.0, before a short descending section at -2% (km 2.0-2.2) that lets you finish more smoothly.
Tips for pacing:
1. Don't go out too hard. On the 9% sections, spin a light cadence and pick a gear you can hold so you don't blow your legs before km 1.0.
2. Stay steady in the middle of the climb. Between km 1.0 and km 1.5, hold a constant effort and use the slightly easier gradient to recover a little.
3. Attack the rolling section. Between km 1.5 and km 2.0, at 3%, shift up a gear and push hard to keep your speed up until the descent.
