Tips

Difficulty analysis: With 6.2 km for 316 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.1%, this category 1 climb is a demanding but steady ascent. The real crux comes between km 4 and km 6, where the gradient bounces between 6% and 8% for two kilometres with no real respite. The first part, with a flat stretch at 1% between km 1 and km 1.5, gives you a few moments to catch your breath.

Tips for pacing yourself:

1. Ease into it: the 5% gradient over the first 500 metres tempts you to go out too hard, so keep a steady rhythm right from the foot of the climb.

2. Make the most of the flat: between km 1 and km 1.5, the 1% gradient is ideal for drinking, eating and getting your cadence back up before what's next.

3. Prepare for the tough finish: between km 4.5 and km 5.5, where the gradient hits 7% and 8%, shift to an easier gear and keep a smooth cadence so you still have something left for the last 200 metres at 4%.
