Difficulty analysis: This Category 3 climb is fairly moderate overall (3.7% average), but its profile is very uneven. The central kilometre (KM 1.0-1.5 at 8%) is the main difficulty, accounting for more than a quarter of the total climbing on its own. The finish is flat (KM 4.0-4.3 at 0%), which gives you a good recovery spot.
Tips for pacing your effort:
1. Managing the steep ramp: Plan for the 8% section by starting at a measured pace. Don't blow up on this segment: use a gear that lets you hold your cadence.
2. Recovering actively: Make use of the gentler sections (especially KM 2.5-3.0 at 1%) to ease off the intensity and recover without slowing down too much.
3. Tactical sprint: Since the finish is flat, any attack has to be launched before the end of the climb (around KM 3.9) to be effective.
