At 12.7 km and 897m of elevation gain, it is a true HC climb, where the difficulty lies in the repetition of the steep gradients.
Tips for pacing:
1. Managing the variations: Use the two kilometres of gentle descent (km 4-6) to recover actively before the hard sections that follow.
2. Anticipating the spikes: Don't go too hard in the early kilometres (4-10%) so you save something for the three 11% ramps, especially the final one at km 10.
3. Steady rhythm: Settle on a target power or heart rate you can hold for the whole climb, easing off slightly on the gentler slopes (km 8-10 and the finish).
