Difficulty breakdown: This 4.2 km climb averages 6.5% over 272 m of vertical gain, which puts it in 2nd category. The real challenge is consistency: the gradient stays between 6% and 9% for most of the route, with no real respite. The toughest sections are between km 2.5 and 3.0 and between km 3.5 and 4.0, both at 9%. Only the stretch from km 1.0 to km 1.5, at 3%, gives you a real breather.
Pacing tips:
1. Ease into it: on the opening 500 metres at 7%, settle into a steady rhythm, because the hardest part is still ahead.
2. Recover on the false flat: use the 3% section between km 1.0 and 1.5 to get your breathing back and recover some strength.
3. Save something for the end: tackle the 9% sections from km 2.5 to 3.0 and km 3.5 to 4.0 in a gear you can handle, then keep a bit in the tank for the final 4% section.
