Difficulty breakdown: This 27.4 km climb is sustained, averaging 7%. The first part (KM 0-10) is milder (3-8%) and works as a warm-up for the legs. The real difficulty kicks in between KM 10 and 23, where the gradient keeps bouncing between 7% and 9%. That's the meat of the climb. The finale (KM 26-27.4) ends with a 9% section, so you'll need something left in the tank for the last push.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing your pace in the middle section: Don't go out too hard in the early kilometres. Most of your effort should be spread over the long stretch of 7-9% gradients between KM 10 and 23.
2. Expect the changes: The gradient changes constantly. Keep a steady rhythm by adjusting your gear rather than stamping on the pedals every time a short steep ramp comes up.
3. Save something for the finish: The last kilometres are brutal (8-9%). Don't empty the tank before KM 26, so you can tackle that final section properly.
