Climb difficulty analysis: This short (2.1 km) but intense climb has an average gradient of a brutal 9.4%. Its difficulty lies in its uneven profile, with a first kilometer that is extremely steep (15% then 9%) and hits your cardiovascular system right from the gun, followed by a short slightly downhill false flat before a final section at 11%.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: Resist the urge to go too hard through the initial 15%. Spin a light gear to save your legs.
2. Make the most of the false flat: The slightly downhill section (KM 1.0-1.5) is crucial for recovering and bringing your heart rate down before the final push.
3. Save something in the tank: The 11% gradient over the last 500 meters demands sustained power. Tackle it with fresh legs.
