Climb analysis: This 3rd category climb has a progressive difficulty. The first half (4% to 5%) is steady and lets you find a rhythm. The gradient picks up noticeably between km 3.0 and km 4.0, with a stretch at 6% then 7% that makes up the heart of the effort, before an easy finish (2%) over the last 0.5 km.
How to manage the effort:
1. Save something for the hard middle. Don't go out too hard on the moderate early slopes, or you'll reach the steepest section (km 3.0-4.0) with nothing left in the tank.
2. Anticipate the change of rhythm. The gradient goes from 4% to 6% at km 3.0. Getting your head and legs ready for that step up is crucial if you want to avoid blowing up.
3. Use the final section to recover. The last 0.5 km at 2% lets you ease off before the summit and finish without redlining.
