Difficulty analysis: This Category 3 climb has a tactical profile. The first half (KM 0-3) is a gradual warm-up for the legs (2% to 7%), followed by a relative breather between KM 3 and 4.5. The real difficulty is concentrated at the end, with a demanding 7% section, then 8% over the last kilometer and a half, before a final 5% stretch.
Pacing advice:
1. Save some in the tank for the end: Don't overdo it on the early gradients. The main effort comes after KM 4.5. Ride within yourself and pace accordingly.
2. Use the breather in the middle: The section between KM 3.0 and 4.5 (3-4%) is ideal for recovering, drinking and finding your rhythm again before the steep ramps.
3. Be ready for the change of rhythm: The jump from KM 4.5 (7%) to KM 5.0 (8%) is brutal. Get mentally and physically ready for that sudden intensification.
