Difficulty analysis: With 10.2 km for 689 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 6.7%, this climb fully deserves its HC rating. The start is tough, with 8% over the first three kilometres and a section at 11% between km 1 and km 2. The gradient eases between km 4 and km 7 (5 to 6%), before a final steep section at 9% between km 8 and km 9. The final flat section (km 9 to 10.2) gives you a breather, but don't let it make you forget the overall length of the effort.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first three kilometres, between 8 and 11%, need to be ridden at a steady rhythm so you keep some reserves for later.
2. Make the most of the rolling section. Between km 4 and km 7, at 5 or 6%, keep a smooth cadence and recover before the finale.
3. Save something for the finish. At km 8 and km 9, at 9%, give it your last big push, then use the flat section to wind it back up and finish strong.
