Tips

Difficulty analysis: This category 3 climb is moderately hard. The average gradient of 4% over 4.4 km is manageable, but pacing is key: the first two half-kilometre sections (6% and 7%) are the toughest, followed by near-flat sections (1%) that give you a chance to recover.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Start easy: Don't get caught out by the steep opening. Ride at a controlled pace to avoid blowing up early.

2. Use the flat bits: Take advantage of the 1% sections (around km 1.5 and 2.5) to recover by easing off slightly while keeping a good tempo.

3. Find a steady rhythm: After km 2, the gradient settles around 4%. Find a cadence you can hold all the way to the top.
