Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb is moderately hard thanks to its reasonable length (3.9 km), but the profile is very uneven. The main challenge is the central kilometre (1.5-2.0 km) at 13%, which is seriously demanding. The rest of the road alternates between easier stretches (1%, 2%) and steep ramps (7%, 9%), so you need to manage your effort carefully.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Save something for the wall: Don't burn your matches in the first 1.5 km so you hit the 13% section with fresh legs.
2. Recover actively: Use the next two kilometres (2.0-3.0 km, 5% then 1%) to get your breathing back under control without totally backing off the pace.
3. Spin a light gear: With gradients changing this much, you need gearing you can adapt to and keep a steady cadence.
