Difficulty breakdown: The Côte de Fleron covers 5.7 km for 167 m of elevation gain, with an average gradient of 2.9%, which rates it as a Category 4 climb. Most of the work is packed into the first 2.5 km, where the ramps hit 4 to 5% and close to 111 m of climbing gets gobbled up. After that, the road eases off gradually, with 3% then 2% between km 2.5 and km 4.5, before a virtually flat stretch from km 4.5 to km 5.5 (1% then 2%).
Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. For the first 500 m at 5%, spin an easy cadence and save some in the tank for the steepest kilometres.
2. Settle into a steady rhythm between 2.5 and 4.5 km. On 2 to 3% gradients, a sensible gear and a smooth cadence let you recover while holding a good tempo.
3. Use the finish. On the flat section and then the gentle descent from km 5.5 to 5.7, ramp the effort back up progressively so you finish strong without burning your last reserves.
