Difficulty analysis: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. It's a tactical climb, with a demanding first section on 4-6% gradients, followed by a long 2 km flat section (gradients from 1% to -1%) that gives you a bit of respite, before a steeper finish over the last kilometre at 6%. Pacing is crucial.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing the start: Resist the urge to go too hard on the first steep kilometres, or you'll be cooked before the flat section.
2. Making the most of the recovery: Use the flat section (KM 2.5-4.0) to recover by easing off a little while keeping a steady rhythm.
3. Saving something for the finish: Keep some legs in reserve for the last part (after KM 4.0), which is the steepest and will make the difference to your final time.
