Difficulty breakdown: This 3rd category climb covers 6.7 km for 291 m of elevation gain, an average gradient of 4.3%, which makes it a doable but demanding ascent. The real pain is in the second half: km 4.5 to 6.0 hit 8%, 9%, then 6%. That's the true test of the climb. The early kilometers, between 3% and 5%, let you settle into a steady rhythm, while the near-flat finish (1% then 0% between km 6.0 and 6.7) gives you a welcome breather.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Save your legs from the start. On the opening kilometers (0.0 to 4.5), keep the pace controlled and don't go out too hard, because most of the work comes further up.
2. Prepare for the steepest section. Between km 4.5 and 6.0, shift into an easier gear and keep a smooth, consistent cadence, staying seated as much as you can.
3. Make the most of the final flat. Between km 6.0 and 6.7, recover by eating and drinking, then ramp the pace back up gradually to finish the climb strong.
