Climb difficulty: This 2nd category climb is moderately hard over 6.8 km, but the profile is very uneven. The central section (KM 1.0 to 3.0) is clearly the toughest, with nearly 2 km at 9% gradient that make up the heart of the effort. The route then offers two short recovery zones that are almost flat (KM 3.5-4.0 and KM 4.5-5.5) before a slightly steeper finish (KM 6.0-6.8 at 7%).
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Manage the start: Resist the urge to go too hard over the first kilometers (3-4%) so you reach the 9% section with fresh legs.
2. Settle into a rhythm on the hard part: Pick a gear that suits you and hold a steady effort over the 2 km at 9%. That's where the climb is won.
3. Make the most of the breaks: Use the flat sections (around KM 4 and 5) to recover actively (spin easily) before the final push.
