The real challenge is concentrated in the first kilometre, with two sections at 10% (KM 0.0-0.5 and KM 0.5-1.0) that demand a sustained effort right from the start. The rest alternates between more rolling stretches at 4% (KM 1.5-2.0 and KM 2.5-3.0) and a steeper ramp at 7% (KM 2.0-2.5), before a nearly flat finish that lets you get to the top without blowing up.
Tips for pacing:
1. Don't go out too hard: pace yourself through the 10% of KM 0.0-0.5 so you have something left for the rest of the climb.
2. Make the most of the easier sections: use the 4% stretches (KM 1.5-2.0 and KM 2.5-3.0) to recover, drink and fuel up.
3. Push on the final flat: keep the power on through KM 3.0-3.5 at 5%, then ramp it up progressively over KM 3.5-4.0 at 1% and KM 4.0-4.2 at 0%.
