Difficulty breakdown: This category 4 climb is fairly moderate overall (3% average gradient), but the difficulty is unevenly spread. The first 4 km are very rolling (gradient mostly between 1% and 3%), before things get noticeably harder over the final kilometre. The last kilometre (between km 4.5 and km 5.5) contains the two steepest sections, at 7% and 8%, and accounts for nearly 40% of the total elevation gain.
Tips for pacing your effort:
1. Managing your rhythm: Make the most of the first 4 km, which are not steep, to settle into a steady, aerobic rhythm without forcing it. Don't go over the top in this section, so you save your legs for later.
2. Prepare for the final push: Get yourself mentally and physically ready for the 7-8% ramps in the last kilometre. Easing off the pace slightly before km 4.5 can help you reach this crucial part of the climb with fresher legs.
3. Shift down in good time: Anticipate your gear change before the steep section (around km 4.5) so you don't have to mash the pedals once the gradient kicks in.
