Difficulty breakdown: This 21 km climb is a sustained effort with a demanding average gradient of 5.7%. The real challenge is the uneven profile: eight kilometres go above 7%, creating hard sections (KM 4-5, 13-14, 17-18) broken up by easier stretches (KM 0-2, 8, 16) that make it hard to settle into a steady rhythm.
How to manage your effort:
1. Start at a controlled pace to save your legs for the first kilometres at 3-4%, before the first 7% ramps.
2. Ride the climb in segments, anticipating the steepest kilometres (7%) so you don't blow up by overcooking your efforts and piling on fatigue.
3. Make the most of the 3-4% sections (KM 8, 16, 20) to recover actively by keeping a smooth pedal stroke without forcing it.
