Difficulty analysis: The Keerderberg is a short climb, 2.2 km long and rated Category 4, with an average gradient of 2.8% over 62 m of elevation gain. The profile is steady, and the hardest section lies between km 0.5 and km 1.5, where the gradient reaches 4%. The challenge lies mainly in holding a consistent effort rather than in one truly steep ramp, and the section from km 2.0 to km 2.2, at 2%, gives you a welcome breather before the finish.
Pacing tips:
1. Keep your pace under control from km 0.0 to km 0.5. This first section at 3% often tempts riders to go out too hard, but every effort spent here will be paid for dearly on the 4% kilometres that follow.
2. Settle into a steady power output between km 0.5 and km 1.5. Over these two kilometres at 4%, hold a smooth, even effort, stay seated, and make sure you're in a gear that suits the climb.
3. Attack during the breather from km 2.0 to km 2.2. The gradient eases to 2% over these 217 m: use it to build your speed progressively and fight for your position over the final few hundred metres.
