Difficulty analysis: This 3rd category climb presents moderate difficulty due to its short distance (2.4 km). The average gradient of 5.9% is typical, but the distribution reveals uneven difficulty: a steep start (8%) followed by an easier section (4%), before two more demanding segments (6% and 7%) in the middle of the climb. The final section at 4% gives you a chance to recover.
Pacing advice:
1. Handling the start: Don't let the initial 8% catch you off guard. Settle into a steady rhythm from the very beginning to avoid burning out too early.
2. Making the most of the easier sections: Use the 4% stretch (around KM 0.5-1.0) to get your breathing back under control and save energy for the 6% and 7% sections that follow.
3. Saving something for the finish: Keep pushing on the steepest part (KM 1.5-2.0 at 7%), knowing that the final 400 metres at 4% let you ease off the pressure slightly before the line.
