Climb difficulty analysis: This 3rd category climb is moderately hard. The average gradient of 3.6% is gentle, but the profile reveals two tougher sections: a first steep ramp at 6% between km 1.0 and 1.5, followed by a more consistent stretch around 5-6% between km 1.5 and 3.0. The profile is uneven, with a notable breather at km 3.0-3.5 (1%) before a final short kicker.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace your start: The first kilometers are easy. Don't go over the top trying to attack the first 6% section (km 1.0-1.5) before you're already in the red.
2. Focus your effort on the middle section: The real difficulty lies between km 1.0 and 3.0. Save some energy for this stretch where the gradient exceeds 5%.
3. Make the most of the breather: The almost flat section at km 3.0-3.5 is ideal for recovering and setting up for the short kick ahead of an easy finish.
