Tips

Climb difficulty analysis: This 1st category climb presents sustained difficulty. The first half (0-4 km) is very demanding, with gradients ranging between 7% and 10%, creating a high pace. A notable respite comes between 4.5 and 5.5 km (3-4% gradients), before the difficulty gradually picks back up all the way to the summit.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go hard over the first 4 km. Settle into a steady rhythm you can hold to avoid blowing up early.

2. Make the most of the recovery section: Use the easier stretch (around 4.5 km) to recover actively by keeping a good cadence without mashing the gears.

3. Save something for the finale: The road ramps back up after 5.5 km. Keep some energy in reserve for this last part, which stays tough (6-8%) all the way to the finish.
