Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This 13 km climb has two distinct parts. The first 7 km are moderate, with gradients of 5% to 7%, but the difficulty ramps up hard in the second half. From KM 7 on, gradients consistently exceed 10%, with brutal sections at 18% (KM 7-8) and 15% (KM 12-13). The 9.5% average gradient is pulled up by this punishing finale.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Pacing: Start easy over the first kilometers to save your legs. The real climbing starts after KM 7.

2. Know the key sections: Prepare mentally and physically for the 18% wall at KM 7 and the 15% finish. Pick a gear you can turn over comfortably to keep your cadence steady.

3. Build your effort: Don't blow up in the middle section. The climb demands more and more power, so spread your effort across the whole ride.
