The first kilometres, between 1% and 3% from KM 0.0 to KM 2.0, are rolling and help you warm up the legs. The real difficulty is between KM 2.0 and KM 4.3, where the gradient goes from 5% to 8% and keeps the quads working for a long time.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Don't go out too hard. Use the false flat from KM 0.0 to KM 2.0 to settle into a steady rhythm and save some energy for what comes next.
2. Prepare for the 7% section. Between KM 2.5 and 3.0, shift to an easier gear and keep a smooth cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
3. Save something for the finish. Between KM 4.0 and 4.3, the gradient hits 8%: spread your effort so you can finish the climb without blowing up.
