The col starts straight into steep sections, notably between 1.0 and 1.5 km at 11%, then again between 4.5 and 5.0 km at 11%.

Tips for the effort:
1. Control the start. Pace yourself over the first few kilometres, because the 11% ramp between 1.0 and 1.5 km can quickly eat into your reserves.
2. Make the most of the flat. Between 3.0 and 4.0 km, the gradient eases to 2% and then dips again, so it's the perfect time to recover and settle into a steady rhythm.
3. Save something for the end. After the 11% section between 4.5 and 5.0 km, keep some in the tank for the 7.0 to 7.4 km finale at 10%, where the result is often decided.
