Climb difficulty analysis: This 1st category climb is genuinely hard, with an average gradient of 6.9% over 5.1 km. The difficulty lies in its inconsistency: after a moderate start, a very punishing 11% section between km 1.5 and 2.0 is followed by a run of gradients between 6% and 10%, with no real respite.
Effort management tips:
1. Handling the steepest section: Anticipate the 11% stretch (KM 1.5-2.0). Tackle it at a measured pace to avoid blowing up your heart rate, and keep a smooth, consistent cadence.
2. Recovering actively: Make the most of the shorter, gentler sections (KM 0.5-1.0 at 2% and KM 2.5-3.0 at 6%) to get your breathing back under control without slowing down too much.
3. Holding a steady effort: The second half of the climb (KM 3.0-5.0) stays hard (7% to 10%). Avoid surges and focus on steady power all the way to the top.
