Difficulty analysis: This 8.2 km climb has a deceptive profile. The first 4 km are moderate (3-4%), but the gradient ramps up significantly after KM 4. The hardest section lies between KM 5.0 and 7.5, with three successive ramps above 11%, peaking at 14%. The 538m of total elevation gain fully justifies its Category 1 rating.
Climbing tips:
1. Managing your pace: Start easy on the first kilometers, which aren't too steep, to save energy for the hard part.
2. Anticipating the steep ramps: Prepare mentally and physically for the 11-14% gradients starting at KM 5. Settle into a steady, controlled rhythm through these sections.
3. Recovering during the breather: Make the most of the short 5% section around KM 6.0-6.5 to recover before the final two kilometers, which remain very demanding (8-12%).
