Climb analysis: This 5.6 km climb is a sustained effort with a high average gradient of 7.4%. The difficulty lies in the uneven profile: several sections at 8-9% (KM 0.5-1.0, 1.5-2.0, 2.5-3.0, 3.5-4.0) alternate with "easier" stretches at 6-7%, so the effort comes in surges. The final section at 4% (KM 5.0-5.5) offers a bit of respite.
Pacing tips:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom so you don't blow up in the first kilometres at 7-8%.
2. Make the most of the 6-7% sections (KM 1.0-1.5, KM 2.0-2.5, KM 3.0-3.5) to recover without slowing down too much.
3. Save something in the tank for the four 9% sections, which are the key points of the climb.
