Difficulty breakdown: With 3.1 km at an average gradient of 5.3% for 166 m of elevation gain, the Kopalina is a demanding 3rd-category climb, though not an extreme one. The profile is uneven, with rolling sections alternating with steeper stretches. The crux comes between km 2.0 and km 2.5, where the gradient hits 12% over 477 m. The 8% finish over 144 m keeps the pressure on and can really take its toll on your legs.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Don't go out too hard The 5% start (km 0.0-0.5) tempts you to attack, so settle into a steady rhythm right from the bottom of the climb.
2. Make the most of the flat The km 0.5-1.0 section, at just 1%, is the perfect chance to recover, drink, and get the legs turning again before what's coming.
3. Handle the 12% ramp In the km 2.0-2.5 section, stay in the saddle, keep a smooth cadence in an easy gear, and save something in the tank for the 8% finish.
