Climb difficulty breakdown:
This Category 3 climb starts easy and gets harder as it goes. The first half (0-2 km) is fairly gentle, with gradients of 2% to 4%, so it's a good chance to get your legs going. The climb gets noticeably harder in the second act, with a key section between 2.5 and 3.5 km at 5-6%, followed by a decisive kilometre at 10% (KM 3.5-4.0). The final stretch is more manageable at 4%, but the maximum gradient packs most of the challenge into a short distance.
How to manage your effort:
1. Save something for the 10% kilometre: Don't overcook it on the easier early slopes. Use them to find a steady rhythm without burning matches too early.
2. Prepare for the change of pace: The gradient ramps up sharply from KM 2.0. Get ready mentally and physically to adjust your effort and your gear before that section.
3. Breeze through the finish: After the big effort of KM 3.5-4.0, the road eases back to 4%. That's your chance to pick up the cadence again if you've got the legs left to finish strong.
