Difficulty analysis: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The average gradient of 3% over 15.7 km is steady, but the distribution shows a run of 4% sections (KM 3-7 and KM 9, 13) broken up by easier 2% stretches and a notable flat at KM 11.0-12.0. With no really steep ramps, this is more of an endurance climb than a power climb.
Pacing tips:
1. Ride the 4% sections within yourself: Use the 2% stretches and the flat to recover actively without soft-pedalling too much.
2. Plan for the flat at KM 11: Use it to top up your fuel and ease the pressure on your legs for a bit before the final 3-4% gradients.
3. Keep a smooth cadence: Avoid surging, and shift your gears as the gradient changes so you save your energy for the long haul.
