Tips

Climb analysis: The Oskava climb builds gradually. The first three kilometers are relatively gentle (average gradient of 2.2%), a good warm-up phase. The gradient ramps up noticeably from the 2.5 km mark, averaging 5.5% over the next 6 kilometers. The toughest section is between km 4.0 and km 8.0, where the gradient holds steady at 5% to 6%.

Pacing tips:

1. Use the start to settle in: The first kilometers at low gradient are ideal for finding your breathing rhythm and a comfortable cadence without dipping into your reserves.

2. Anticipate the change of pace: Around the 3rd kilometer, the gradient kicks up and stays there. Don't blow up at this key moment: shift to an easier gear as you approach KM 2.5.

3. Hold a steady cadence on the middle section: The long 6% stretch demands a consistent effort. Focus on a smooth, steady cadence rather than speed to avoid burning out your legs.
