Tips

Difficulty analysis: The Nahari from Kamthān is a hors catégorie climb of 15.4 km for 920 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 6%. Most of the climb sits between 4% and 8%, with stretches at 7% (km 1-2, km 3-4 and km 13-14) and a key section at 8% around km 7-8. The 2% sections (km 8-9 and km 10-11) are the only real breathers, while km 14-15, at 0%, comes before the final stretch at 2%.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Pace your first kilometres. Don't go out too hard on the km 0-1 section at 6%: the climb is long and you'll need energy left for the 8% ramp at km 7-8.

2. Recover on the false flats. Use the 2% sections (km 8-9 and km 10-11) to drink, fuel up and settle back into a steady rhythm without forcing it.

3. Save something for the finish. After the 7% section at km 13-14, km 14-15 is practically flat: this is the time to spin a comfortable gear and hold your cadence all the way to the line over the last 400 m at 2%.
