Difficulty analysis: This 4th category climb has a two-part profile. The first 6 kilometers are very manageable (average gradient of 2.2%), followed by a tougher final section of 3 km where the gradient gradually ramps up to 5% between km 6.0 and 7.5. The difficulty lies in this change of rhythm late in the climb.
Effort management tips:
1. Pacing: Start off steady on the easier first part to save your legs. Anticipate the increase in gradient from km 5.5.
2. Gearing: Be ready to shift down progressively between km 5.5 and 7.5 to keep a smooth cadence on the 4-5% slopes.
3. Focus on the finish: The last kilometer (2%) gives you a chance to partly recover, but the decisive effort comes between km 6.0 and 7.5.
