Climb analysis: This Category 3 climb has an uneven profile. The main difficulty is the steepest section, 7% between 3.0 and 3.5 km, which comes near the top after a flat stretch that breaks your rhythm.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing your pace on the flat: The 0% section between 1.5 and 2.0 km is a trap. Use it to recover actively without picking up the pace, so you hit the next part with fresh legs.
2. Saving something for the finish: Plan for the 7% stretch in the last 500 meters. Don't go hard in the early kilometers so you still have the power you'll need for this decisive section.
3. Spinning an easy gear: The frequent changes in gradient (from 0% to 7%) call for smooth gear changes to keep a steady cadence.
