Difficulty analysis: This 1st category climb is moderately hard over the first half, with gradients mostly between 1% and 3%. The difficulty ramps up noticeably in the second part, with several demanding sections: a kilometer at 8% (KM 11-12) and, above all, a very steep kilometer at 10% (KM 16-17), which is the peak of the effort.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pacing yourself: Make the most of the first kilometers and the sections at 1-2% (KM 5-6, KM 9-10, KM 12-13) to recover without going too slow. Plan ahead for the 10% ramp at KM 16 and save some energy for it.
2. Choosing your gears: Fit a gear ratio suited to the steep sections (8% and 10%) so you can keep a steady cadence and avoid "blowing up" your rhythm.
3. Breaking the climb into sections: Mentally split the climb into three parts: the approach (KM 0-6), the tough middle section (KM 6-16) with its two steep spots, and the final stretch (KM 16-18.2) so you can tackle the effort with a bit more composure.
