The challenge lies mostly in pacing, since most of the climb sits between 3% and 5%, with a steeper section at 8% between km 0.5 and 1.0. The real damage, however, is done in the final stretch, where the gradient hits 12% from km 4.5 to 4.8, right when your legs will be most taxed.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Don't go out too hard: from km 0.0 to 0.5 at 5%, save some in the tank before the 8% ramp between km 0.5 and 1.0.
2. Find a steady rhythm: between km 1.0 and km 4.0, where the gradient wavers between 3% and 5%, keep a smooth, consistent cadence.
3. Save something for the finish: from km 4.5 to 4.8 at 12%, shift to an easier gear, stay seated, then switch to out-of-the-saddle efforts to get the legs turning over again.
