Climb difficulty analysis: This 6.4 km climb is rated beyond categorisation due to its very high average gradient (10.3%). The main difficulty lies in the 2.0–2.5 km section, which reaches a maximum gradient of 15%, a demanding stretch that calls for disciplined effort management. The profile is uneven, alternating between "easier" sections (6–7%) and sustained ramps (11–15%), which disrupts your rhythm.
Pacing tips:
1. Manage your pace on the steepest part: Plan ahead for the 15% section (km 2.0–2.5) by holding back from the start so you reach it with fresh legs. Don't hesitate to spin up in your small ring.
2. Make the most of the recovery sections: Km 3.0–4.0 (6–7% gradients) offers some relief. Use this stretch to recover while keeping a steady cadence without pushing too hard, so you're ready for the ramps that follow.
3. Keep a steady rhythm: The uneven gradients can tempt you to surge and then ease off. Set a constant effort level (based on heart rate or perceived exertion, for example) rather than chasing the changes in speed.
