Climb analysis: This 3rd category climb has a moderate but deceptive difficulty. The first half (0-3.5 km) is demanding, with sustained gradients between 5% and 7%. The main challenge lies in the nearly flat, even slightly downhill, middle section (3.5-5.5 km), which breaks your rhythm before a steep finale (5.5-6.9 km at 4-6%).
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Start controlled: Resist the temptation to go too hard on the first steep kilometres to avoid an early lactic burn.
2. Use the descent: Make the most of the downhill section (KM 4.5-5.5) to recover actively (spin the legs easy) and set yourself up for the final push.
3. Build back up gradually: Anticipate the return to steeper gradients at 5.5 km by progressively increasing your cadence and power so you don't get caught out.
