Climb difficulty analysis: This Category 2 climb is moderately hard over 2.5 km. Its main feature is a very demanding start, with almost half of the elevation gain (111m) packed into the first kilometer, on gradients between 10% and 12%. The middle section (KM 1.0-1.5) at 4% gives you welcome respite before a steady finish around 6-7%.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Measured start: Don't let the steep opening ramps get into your head. Settle into a sustainable pace from the bottom, or you'll blow up early.
2. Use the easier section: Use the 4% kilometer to recover and shift into an easier gear without grinding, so you reach the final part with something left in the tank.
3. Steady rhythm in the final stretch: With the last 1.5 kilometers at a similar gradient (6-7%), hold a consistent cadence to manage your effort optimally all the way to the summit.
