Difficulty analysis: This 1st category climb is moderately hard over its distance, but the profile is very uneven. The average gradient of 3% is misleading: the real difficulty lies in the four steep sections (7% between km 10-11 and 17-19) separated by flat stretches and even two short descents between km 11 and 13.
How to manage your effort:
1. Ride within yourself. Use the flat or slightly downhill sections (km 5-6, 11-13, 20-22.5) to recover actively and bring your heart rate down before the hard sections.
2. Anticipate the changes of pace. Kilometres 14 to 19 are the most demanding (gradients of 6-7%). Tackle this stretch with fresh legs and avoid over-pacing the first kilometres.
3. Use a supple gearing. Frequent changes in gradient mean you'll need to shift often to keep a steady cadence and avoid "breaking" your rhythm.
