Difficulty analysis:
This Category 3 climb is moderately hard. The average gradient of 4% over 5.7 km looks manageable, but the difficulty is uneven. The first kilometre is very gentle (2-3%), followed by a tougher central section between km 1.0 and 4.0, where the gradient varies between 5% and 6%. The finish is mixed, with a false flat at 2% before a short, punchy 6% ramp in the last 200 metres.
Pacing tips:
1. Don't burn matches early: Use the first 1.5 kilometres (2-3% gradients) to find your rhythm without going into the red.
2. Save something for the middle: Expect the steepest section (km 1.0 to 4.0, 5-6% gradients) and keep a steady effort through it.
3. Rebuild after the false flat: Don't launch a big attack at km 5.0 (2% gradient). Instead, get mentally and physically ready for the short but steep ramp to the finish.
