Climb difficulty: This Category 3 climb is long (12.8 km) but has a moderate average gradient of 2.7%. The difficulty lies in how it unfolds: the first 5 km are the steepest (3% to 5%) and form the heart of the effort. The profile then settles between 2% and 3%, with an almost flat finish.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Start easy: Don't go out too hard. The first two km at 1% give you time to find your rhythm before the steeper sections.
2. Steady pace through the middle section: Hold a constant power output between km 2 and km 6, where the 3% to 5% gradients demand the most commitment.
3. Active recovery near the top: Use the final km (gradients of 2% to 0%) to ease off slightly and reach the summit without being spent.
