Difficulty analysis: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The profile is very uneven: a first kilometer of steady climbing (4-5%) is followed by a long, almost flat section of nearly 2 km. The real difficulty is concentrated in the last kilometer, with a brutal 8% ramp.
How to manage your effort:
1. Save your legs on the flat: Don't waste energy between KM 1.5 and 3.5. Use this stretch to recover and mentally prepare for the tough finale.
2. Keep something in the tank for the end: Expect the steep 8% section after KM 4.5. Tackle it in a comfortable gear with a steady cadence to avoid blowing up.
3. Ride it in sections: Think of this climb as three distinct parts (opening, flat, finish) rather than one continuous effort, so you can pace your power better.
