Difficulty breakdown: This 2.7 km climb averages 5.9% over 160 m of elevation gain, which puts it in the 2nd category. Most of the work is concentrated between km 0.5 and km 1.0, where the gradient hits 13%, a tough section that does the real damage. After that, it eases to 4% between km 1.5 and km 2.0, then dips into a short -2% descent from km 2.0 to km 2.5, before a final stretch at 2%.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Pace yourself from the start: the first 500 m at 6% are your warm-up, so don't go out too hard before you reach the 13% ramp.
2. Prepare for the 13% section: shift down before km 0.5 and keep a smooth, steady cadence so you don't blow up into the red between km 0.5 and km 1.0.
3. Recover on the 4% section: between km 1.5 and km 2.0, use the easier gradient to catch your breath, drink, and build back up the pace for the finish.
