Difficulty analysis: This Cat 1 climb is genuinely hard, with an average gradient of 6.9% over 7.9 km. The difficulty lies in the uneven profile: after a moderate start, the gradient ramps up sharply between km 1.5 and 5.0, with four sections at 8% or more, peaking at 11% on the 4.5-5.0 km segment. This central section is clearly the crux of the climb.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing the middle section: Plan for the hard stretch between km 3.5 and 5.0 (gradients of 10% and 11%). Don't burn matches in the first kilometres; arrive at this section with something left in the tank.
2. Using the easier sections: The sections at 3% (km 0.0-0.5 and 2.0-2.5) and at 5% (km 5.0-5.5 and the finish) are chances to recover actively by keeping a steady rhythm without forcing.
3. Holding a steady rhythm: The final part of the climb (after km 5.5) stays sustained (5-7%) but is less brutal. Spreading your effort well lets you keep power in your legs all the way to the summit.
