Difficulty breakdown: At 4.2 km for 199 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.7%, this 3rd category climb is manageable but demanding. The hardest section sits between km 1.0 and km 1.5, with 9% over 499 m. The rest of the climb alternates between easier stretches (1% and 2%) and steady 5% sections from km 2.0 to km 4.0, which test your rhythm over the long haul.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard in the first kilometre. The 6% ramp from km 0.0 to km 0.5 will tempt you to attack, so keep a steady rhythm to reach the 9% section with some legs left.
2. Recover on the flatter bits between km 0.5 and km 1.0, and between km 1.5 and km 2.0. The 2% and 1% gradients are your chance to spin the legs out and top up your water and fuel before what's coming next.
3. Tackle the 9% from km 1.0 to km 1.5 in an easy gear with a smooth, steady cadence. Avoid standing on the pedals for too long, and hold the same effort through the 5% section from km 3.0 to km 4.0, where the fatigue builds up.
