Difficulty analysis: This Category 4 climb is long (8.9 km) but not very steep (2.2% average). The difficulty lies in its unevenness: a very gentle first part, followed by a tougher section between km 5.0 and 6.5 (gradients of 5%, 4% and 3%). The final kilometer is even slightly downhill.
Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Pacing: Don't burn matches in the first 5 km, which are very manageable. Save your legs for the steeper middle section (km 5.0 to 6.5).
2. Recovering on the easy bits: Use the flat (0%) or slightly downhill sections (km 4.5-5.0 and the finale) to recover actively without easing off your cadence.
3. Approaching the summit: The final stretch isn't steep, so you can lift your pace over the last 500 metres if you still have something left in the tank.
