Tips

Difficulty breakdown: The climb of Płonina has a mixed profile. The main difficulty is concentrated in the third half-kilometre (KM 1.0-1.5), where the gradient hits a brutal 14%, after a relatively steady first section. The finish is easier at 5%, giving you a chance to recover.

Pacing tips:

1. Manage your pace from the bottom: Don't get fooled by the mild start. Ride the first kilometres within yourself so you have something left in the tank for the 14% section.

2. Anticipate the change of rhythm: As you approach KM 1.0, get ready mentally and physically for a hard effort. Shift down to an easier gear early, before the ramp kicks up.

3. Make the most of the final stretch: The gradient eases to 5% over the last 500 metres. Use this section to get your breathing back under control, then gradually pick up the pace if you still have legs left.
