Difficulty analysis: This 2.9 km climb is moderately hard, typical of a Cat 3. The gradient is fairly steady over the first two kilometers (between 5% and 7%), then drops noticeably over the last 400 meters (2%). The 152m of elevation gain is significant but manageable.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself on the steep part: Hold a steady power output over the first 2.5 kilometers, and don't get carried away on the sections at 6-7%.
2. Use the easier finish: The final section at 2% is a chance to recover and push the pace before the summit.
3. Anticipate the change in gradient: The real challenge lies in the contrast between the sustained early climb and the very gentle finish. Ration your energy accordingly.
