Difficulty breakdown: This 9.4 km climb has an uneven profile, with the difficulty spread over three phases. The first part (km 0-3) is relatively mild. The gradient ramps up noticeably between km 3 and 4 (10-11% pitches) and especially between km 6 and 8, with a tough three-kilometre stretch above 10%. This string of steep pitches in the second half of the climb is what earns it its 1st category rating.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: The first few kilometres are less steep. Resist the urge to go out too hard and save your legs for the key sections (km 3-4 and 6-8).
2. Prepare for the hard sections: Mentally mark km 6 to 8 (gradients of 11%, 10%, 11%). Tackle them in a gear you can spin comfortably and keep a steady rhythm so you don't blow up.
3. Use the easier stretches: The short sections with gentler gradients (km 1.5-2.0, km 4.0-5.0, km 8.0-9.0) are good opportunities to recover a little without losing too much time.
