Climb analysis: Demanding 10.3 km climb with a high average gradient (7.5%). The difficulty lies in its length and the steep 10% section at the 2nd kilometer, followed by a sustained run of 8-9% gradients between km 4 and 8. The final kilometer at 8%, after a brief respite (km 8-9 at 5%), requires disciplined pacing.
Pacing advice:
1. Measured start: Resist the urge to go too hard over the first kilometer (6%) so you reach the 10% section with something left in the tank.
2. Steady rhythm: Settle into a consistent cadence over the central 4 km (7-9%) to avoid blowing up.
3. Save something for the finish: Use the flatter 5% stretch (km 8-9) to recover before the steep finale (8%).
