Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is moderately hard over the first half (gradients of 2-5%), then gets properly steep between km 5 and 7 with 5-6% grades. The flat section at km 2-3 and the short descent at km 7-8 give you strategic recovery spots.
Pacing tips:
1. Ride within yourself over the first few kilometres so you hit the steepest part (km 5-7) with legs still fresh.
2. Make the most of the false flat (km 2-3) and the descent (km 7-8) to recover actively without losing your rhythm.
3. Save something in the tank for the last 3 kilometres, which hold a steady 4-5% gradient.
