Climb difficulty analysis: This category 1 climb has a clear tactical profile. The gradient isn't constant: after a steady start (4%), the slope gradually ramps up (6-7%) before a marked easing at kilometer 2.5 (2%). The effort peaks in the steepest section (9%) between km 3.0 and 3.5, only 700m from the finish.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing yourself on the false flat (km 2.5-3.0): Don't surge in this 2% section. Use it to recover and get ready for the 9% wall.
2. Anticipating the final steep pitch: Save something in the tank for the kilometer at 9%. That's the decisive part. Shift down to an easier gear as soon as you hit this stretch to keep your cadence up.
3. Riding a steady rhythm: The elevation gain is well spread out. Avoid surging at the bottom of the climb so you reach the final with what you need.
