Difficulty breakdown: This 15.7 km HC climb is genuinely tough, with 994m of vertical gain and several demanding sections. The main challenge is the uneven gradient. Three stretches at 8% (KM 5-6 and KM 9-10) break up an otherwise steady rhythm, followed by a deceptive two-kilometre reprieve at 1-2% (KM 10-12) that can easily throw off your pace.
Tips for the effort:
1. Managing the changes: Anticipate those three 8% ramps. Stay in an easy gear through KM 10 to 12 (2% and 1%) to recover actively without losing your rhythm.
2. Steady pacing: Base your effort on the average gradient of 6.3%. Don't go too hard early on (6-7% sections) or you'll be cooked before the critical sections.
3. Finish: The last four kilometres (5-6%) are consistent. If you've paced the climb well, this is where you can hold your power all the way to the top.
