Tips

Difficulty analysis: At 8.7 km, with 540 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.2%, this climb is rated HC and demands a serious reserve of energy. The first three kilometres, between 1% and 3%, give a deceptive warm-up, then the road ramps up sharply from KM 3.5-4.0 (7%). The hardest section lies between KM 4.5-5.0 (11%) and KM 8.0-8.5 (11%), with a 14% pitch at KM 5.5-6.0 and up to 18% at KM 7.0-7.5.

Tips for the effort:

1. Pace yourself from the start. On KM 0.0-0.5 and 0.5-1.0, ride at a steady rhythm and don't go out too hard, so you still have something left for the long steep sections.

2. Shift down early. Move onto easier gears from KM 3.5-4.0 to keep a smooth cadence and save your knees as the gradient increases.

3. Manage the steep spikes. On KM 7.0-7.5 at 18%, stay seated, keep a loose grip on the bars and focus on your breathing, then make the most of the short descent (-2%) on KM 8.5-8.7 to recover before the finish.
