Climb difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb is moderate overall, but its profile is uneven. The first section (KM 0.0 to 3.5) is the hard part, with gradients between 6% and 8%, and most of the climbing is packed into it. The toughest stretch comes between kilometres 2.5 and 3.5, where it holds a steady 8%. The final section (KM 3.5 to 4.6) is much easier at 2%, giving you a real breather before the finish.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing the steep section: Don't go out too hard. Hold a steady rhythm over the first 3.5 km, which are the steepest, so you don't blow up early.
2. Making the most of the final breather: The 2% finish is a chance to recover. You can ease off a little, or even push the pace if you've saved some legs.
3. Anticipating the gradient change: The sudden drop from 8% to 2% around the 3.5 km mark is a key point. Get mentally ready for it so you can adjust your effort and shift gears straight away.
