Difficulty breakdown: At 4.9 km for 377 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 7.7%, this Cat 1 climb is tough and relentless. The bulk of the work comes between the 1.5 km and 4 km marks, where the gradient hits 10% twice, then 13% over the 3.5-4.0 km stretch, the hardest part. The first two kilometers, at 3-4%, are a deceptive warm-up that can tempt you to go out too hard.
Pacing tips:
1. Pacing the start: Use the first kilometers at 3-4% to settle into a steady rhythm and save some legs for the steepest section.
2. Managing the middle of the climb: Between 1.5 and 4 km, stay seated, pick a gear that lets you spin smoothly, and don't try to claw back time on the 10% and 13% ramps.
3. Recovering on the rolling section: Use the 3% stretch between 2.5 and 3 km to drink, fuel up and catch your breath before tackling the final 4.5 km at 8%.
