Climb analysis: The Makowska from Jachówka is a demanding 1.7 km climb with 207 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 11.8%, which earns it a Category 1 rating. The crux is between km 0.4 and 1.0, where the gradient hits 13%, then 18% and 17%, with no real respite. The sections at km 0.0-0.4 (8 to 9%) and km 1.0-1.4 (12% then 10%) offer some more breathable moments, but the km 1.4-1.6 stretch at 13% ramps the effort back up before an almost flat finish from km 1.6 to 1.7.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first 400 m at 8-9% are deceptive: keep a steady cadence so you still have legs left for the steepest section.
2. Prepare for the 18% section. In the km 0.6-0.8 stretch, shift into an easy gear before the steepest pitch and hold a smooth cadence so you don't blow up.
3. Recover in the km 1.2-1.4 section. At 10%, make the most of this easier stretch to take on fuel and get your head and legs back in it before the 13% of km 1.4-1.6.
