Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb has a three-act profile. The first part (KM 0-4) is gentle (2-3%), perfect for settling into a rhythm. The real difficulty peaks in the middle (KM 4-10) with a demanding stretch of 6-9% ramps. A notable breather at KM 11 (1%) comes before a nasty finish, with a final kilometre at 9%.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Pacing the middle section: Resist the urge to go over the top between KM 5 and 9, where the gradients are steepest. Hold a steady power output.

2. Using the KM 11 breather: Spin the legs easily and sip some water during this 1% kilometre to recover before the final push.

3. Saving something for the finish: The last half-kilometre at 9% calls for keeping some energy in the tank. Tackle it in an easy gear so you can control your effort all the way to the summit.
