Tips

Difficulty breakdown: The Magoura climb is a demanding Cat 1 ascent. Its main difficulty lies in its high average gradient (6.8%) and the several kilometres at 8%, especially between KM 1.5 and KM 2.5, then again between KM 3.0 and KM 4.0. The profile is relentless with no real respite, which makes it a constant and intense effort over 4.4 km.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Start easy: The first 500m at 5% give you time to settle into a rhythm without redlining. Use this section to find your cadence and your gearing.

2. Save something for the 8% sections: The effort ramps up noticeably from KM 1.5. Hold back a bit on the first 6-7% pitches so you can tackle the steepest sections in control.

3. Mental management on the final stretch: The gradient stays at 7-8% all the way to the summit. The short overall distance lets you hold an effort close to threshold, but remember the climb is relatively short and intense.
