Difficulty analysis: This Cat 2 climb is moderately hard thanks to its reasonable distance (4.5 km), but the profile is uneven. The crux is the central section between km 1.5 and 4.0, where the gradient varies between 7% and 9% over nearly 2.5 km of sustained grinding. The start (km 1.0-1.5 at 3%) and the finish (km 4.0-4.5 at 5%) give you relative recovery spots.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself for the middle section: Be ready for the series of steep ramps (7% to 9%) from km 1.5 onward. Don't go out too hard, and save your legs for this key stretch.
2. Use the easier sections: Make the most of the 3% section (km 1.0-1.5) to recover and dial in your rhythm before the steep ramps hit.
3. Save something for the finish: The gradient eases to 5% over the last half kilometer, so you can attack if your speed has dropped on the higher percentages.
