Difficulty breakdown: Vaslitsa from Aetia is a beyond-category climb of 20.9 km with 876 m of elevation gain, for an average gradient of 4.2%. It hits you from the gun, with 6 to 8% gradients over km 0 to 8, and the km 3-4 (8%) and km 5-7 (7%) sections take a lot out of your legs. The real difficulty is the duration, with the flat stretch from km 12 to km 16 (between -2% and 2%) being the only real breather.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace the first third Don't go out too hard between km 0 and 3, where the 5 to 7% gradients tempt you to red-line it when the climb is still long.
2. Make the most of the flat Use the km 12 to km 16 stretch to eat, drink and settle into a steady rhythm before the second half.
3. Save something for the finish The km 19-20 section at 8% followed by the final kilometre at 5% calls for keeping your gear in reserve and your energy intact, spinning an easy cadence and staying stable in the saddle.
