Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 1 climb has an uneven profile. The main difficulty comes between km 2.0 and 3.5, with a tough stretch of 9%, 7% and 8% gradient. The first few kilometres are easier (2%-4%), giving you a warm-up before the crux. The final section (km 3.5-4.4) is less steep (3%-4%), which lets you recover a bit while still turning the pedals.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing the key section: Don't go out too hard. Save your legs over the first 2 km so you hit the 9% wall at a sustainable tempo.
2. Anticipating gradient changes: The gradient changes often. Shift into an easier gear and adjust your cadence as you approach each change, especially before km 2.0.
3. Making the most of the finish: The last part (under 4%) is your chance to attack if you've paced well, or to recover before any false flat.
