Difficulty analysis: At 14.8 km for 626 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.2%, the Pujon from Ngukir is a demanding, consistent Cat 1 climb. The start is the steepest with 8% over km 0-1, and km 11-12 brings back the same 8% pitch, making these the most punishing sections. Between those two walls, the road alternates between stretches at 4% and 5% (km 3-4, km 5-7, km 12-14) and a few flatter sections, including the 0% stretch from km 9-10. The cumulative effort over almost 15 km makes this as much an endurance test as a power test.
Tips for pacing:
1. Managing the start: don't go out too hard on the 8% in km 0-1. Find a steady rhythm and save some in the tank for later.
2. Recovering on the easy sections: use the 1% and 2% stretches (km 2-3, km 4-5, km 8-9) and the flat at km 9-10 to get your breathing back and drink.
3. Saving something for the end: keep some legs for the 8% wall at km 11-12, then hold the 5% from km 13-14 through to the 3% of the final 800 meters.
