Climb difficulty: This Category 1 climb has two distinct parts. The first 2 km are very gentle (average gradient of 2%), followed by a tough central and final section of 4.6 km at an average gradient of 8.3%, with stretches at 10-11%. The difficulty lies in the change of rhythm and the length of the steep part.
How to manage your effort:
1. Start easy: Use the first 2 km, which are barely uphill, to warm up and find your breathing rhythm without going into the red.
2. Anticipate the change: From KM 2.0, the gradient suddenly ramps up to 9%. Shift into an easier gear ahead of time and adjust your effort to keep a steady cadence.
3. Keep a steady pace: On the long, hard section (KM 2.0-6.0), aim for a consistent effort. Avoid surges on the 10% stretches so you don't dig yourself into excessive fatigue.
