Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb is sustained but fairly steady over most of its length (3.6 km at 7.6%). The real challenge is the very steep final section (13% over the last 100 meters), which contrasts with the more moderate gradients (5-8%) of the preceding kilometers.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing: Hold a steady rhythm over the first 3.5 km, where the gradient varies little (5-8%), and save something in the tank for the final kicker.
2. Preparing for the finish: Tackle the last section (3.5-3.6 km) with a gear that lets you control your effort on the brutal 13% ramp.
3. Active recovery: Make the most of the short 5% sections (such as between 1.0-1.5 km and 3.0-3.5 km) to ease off the pressure slightly and recover without losing speed.
