Difficulty analysis:
This 3rd category climb is moderately hard over 5.1 km. The profile is uneven, with a key stretch between the 1st and 4th kilometre where the gradient constantly stays above 6%. The toughest section is kilometre 3.0-3.5, at 8%, which marks the peak of the effort.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: The first part (0-1 km) is deceptive, with a gentle gradient (4% then 1%). Resist the temptation to go out too hard so you can tackle the steeper section that starts at kilometre 1 with composure.
2. Prepare for the 8% kilometre: Save some energy, both physical and mental, for the 3.0-3.5 km segment. Shift into a easier gear as you approach this stretch to keep your cadence up.
3. Recover on the 5% slopes: The last two kilometres (4.0-5.1 km) offer some relief with 5% gradients. Use this section to get your breathing back under control before the finish.
