Difficulty breakdown: This beyond-category climb is moderately hard over its first half (average gradient of 5-6%), followed by a significant breather between km 7 and 9 (0% and 2%). The 658m of total elevation gain over 10.2km is serious, but the flat section at the end takes some of the sting out of the overall effort.
Pacing tips:
1. Pace yourself over the first 7 km by holding a steady power output so you don't blow up on the 6% stretches.
2. Make the most of the breather (km 7-9) by spinning an easy gear to recover actively before the final ramp at 4%.
3. Save something for the finish: the last kilometer kicks up to 4% after the recovery zone, so hold back some energy for that final push.
