Analysis of the difficulty: This Category 1 climb has a notable difficulty due to its uneven profile. The average gradient of 9% is steep, but the 1.0-1.5 km section at 14% is the key stretch that will define your effort. The 11% sections (km 1.5-2.0 and 3.5-4.0) in the final part of the climb add to the difficulty at the end.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Managing the start: The first part (0-1 km) is relatively "easy" (9%, then 5%). Use it to find your rhythm without getting carried away by too high a pace.
2. Preparing for the 14% wall: Tackle the steepest kilometre (1.0-1.5) with light gears and a steady effort. This is the critical point where you need to avoid blowing up.
3. Saving something for the finish: After a respite around 3.0-3.5 km (5%), the climb finishes with two sections at 11%. Save some energy so you can respond to this final test.
