Difficulty breakdown: This Category 2 climb has an uneven profile. The real crux is the last kilometre, with a brutal 10% section over 500m after a 6% ramp. The first few kilometres are moderate, with just one meaningful stretch at 8% between 1.0 and 1.5 km. The finish is flat (0%).
Pacing tips:
1. Managing the changes in gradient: Don't go too hard on the easy sections (2-4%). Save your legs for the 8% kilometre and, above all, the 10% finale.
2. Prepping for the final: Hit the 3.0 to 3.5 km stretch (10%) with something left in the tank. It's the steepest part, and it comes at the end of the climb.
3. Active recovery: Use the easier parts (KM 0.5-1.0 and 1.5-2.0) to settle your breathing back into a steady rhythm before the hard sections.
