Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This 8.5 km climb with 312 m of elevation gain is decided mostly between km 1.0 and km 5.5, where the gradient stays between 5% and 6% for over 4 km with no real respite. The start is gentler, with 3% over the first two kilometres, and the finish, from km 6.0 to km 8.5, is practically flat at 0 to 1%. The difficulty therefore comes from the length of the central section rather than from one truly steep ramp, which makes it a demanding Category 3 climb for pacing.

Tips for the effort:

1. Save your legs in the first kilometre The first 1000 metres at 3% are tempting in a big gear, but take them at a moderate pace so you reach km 1.0 with plenty left in the tank.

2. Stay steady between km 1.0 and km 5.5 Hold a smooth cadence and a gear suited to 5 to 6%, and avoid surges, because this is the section that hurts the most.

3. Use the final flat to recover After km 5.5, the gradient drops to 3% and then to almost 0%, which gives you a chance to recover and pick up the pace cleanly before the false-flat descent from km 7.0 to km 7.5.
