Difficulty breakdown: At 16.8 km with 857 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 5.1%, this climb is ranked HC (beyond category) and demands a long, sustained effort. The hard part is between km 4 and km 8, where the gradient hits 8 to 9% and peaks at 9% around km 6-7. From km 8 to km 12, the gradients stay between 4 and 5%, so you need to keep a steady rhythm. Between km 13 and km 16, the road becomes almost flat or even downhill, giving you a bit of breathing room before the finish.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: km 0 to 2 at 6% should be ridden at a controlled effort so you still have something left for the 8-9% section between km 4-5 and km 8.
2. Prepare for the steepest ramp: on the 9% stretch between km 6-7, shift into an easy enough gear, stay in the saddle, and keep a smooth cadence.
3. Recover where the gradient eases: use the km 2-3 section at 2% to drink and fuel up, then use the km 13 to km 16 stretch to get the legs turning again before the final push.
