The effort is evenly spread: from km 0.0 to km 4.5, the gradient stays between 3% and 5%, with no real break, so you need to hold a strong tempo for the whole climb.

1. Start easy For the first 500 metres at 3%, save your legs and don't go out too hard, because the climb steepens after that.
2. Keep a steady cadence Between km 1.5 and km 4.5, stay in an easy gear and keep a constant rhythm to get over the 5% sections without surging.
3. Attack the final flat Between km 4.5 and km 5.8, where the gradient drops to 0 to 2%, use the time to recover and pick up the pace a little before the finish.
