Climb analysis: This Cat 2 climb has a progressive difficulty. The first 3 kilometres (3-4%) serve as a warm-up, then the gradient kicks up noticeably between KM 2.0 and KM 6.0 with a sustained stretch at 6-7%. The real test is the final half kilometre at 10%, which demands a big reserve in the tank.
Pacing advice:
1. Finding your rhythm: Use the easier opening kilometres to settle into a steady breathing rhythm without going over the top. The real effort starts at KM 2.0.
2. Save something for the finish: Keep some legs for KM 6.0-6.5 at 10%. Ease off a little on the 6-7% sections before it so you hit that last wall with something left.
3. Focus on the sections: The climb is a series of similar gradients (several stretches at 6%, then 7%). Hold a steady effort through these sections to avoid surging and blowing up.
