Difficulty breakdown: This 2nd category climb is moderate in difficulty but demands careful tactics. The main challenge is the very steep opening (11% over 500m), followed by a false-flat descending section that breaks your rhythm. The hardest effort comes between KM 2.0 and 2.5 (9% gradient), so you need to manage your effort carefully.
Pacing tips:
1. Start easy: Resist the urge to go full gas on the initial 11%. Spin an easy gear so you don't blow up your legs before the tough final section.
2. Active recovery: Use the descent between 1.5 and 2.0 km to ease the pressure on your legs and get your breathing back under control, without losing all your momentum.
3. Save something for the finale: Keep some energy in the tank to attack the 9% section (KM 2.0-2.5), which is the most physically demanding. The final kilometre (5-6%) will feel much more manageable if you've paced this effort well.
