Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb has an uneven profile, alternating between easier sections (2-3%) and steep stretches (8-9%). The real challenge lies in the two steep segments of nearly 500m each, located between 0.5-1.0 km and 1.5-2.5 km, which demand a sustained effort.
Pacing advice:
1. Pace yourself on the steep sections: Prepare for the two central kilometers (1.5-2.5 km at 8-9%) by settling into a steady cadence to avoid blowing up.
2. Use the flatter bits to recover: The 2% sections (KM 1.0-1.5 and 2.5-3.0) are perfect for easing off a touch and getting your breathing back before the next ramps.
3. Save something for the finale: The last part is less steep (3%), so you can push the pace back up if you've managed your effort well.
