Difficulty analysis: This 3 km climb is moderately hard, typical of a Cat 3. The average gradient of 6.3% is steady, but the section-by-section breakdown shows the difficulty ramping up, peaking at 8% between km 2.0 and km 2.5, which makes it the key section of the climb.
How to manage the effort:
1. Save something for the finish: The hardest effort (8%) comes in the last 500 meters. Don't go out too hard, and pace yourself so you have the power you need on this decisive stretch.
2. Find a steady rhythm: The gradients on the first five sections (5% to 7%) are fairly consistent. Find a gear that lets you hold a steady cadence through this part, without surging.
3. Anticipate the change in gradient: The drop to 6% over the last 500 meters, right after the steepest part, gives you a chance to recover a little before the final sprint.
