Difficulty breakdown: This Category 2 climb is moderate in difficulty, but it has a tactical profile. The first half (0-1.5 km) is very tough, with sustained gradients of 9 to 10%. A significant recovery section comes between 2.0 and 2.5 km (1% gradient), followed by a final 8% kicker before the easier finish.
Pacing advice:
1. Start controlled: Hold back on the first 1.5 km, which are very steep, so you don't blow up early.
2. Active recovery: Use the almost flat stretch at the 2 km mark to ease off and partially recover your legs.
3. Build back up: Get ready for the short but steep 8% ramp after 2.5 km by building back into a strong rhythm before it starts.
