Difficulty breakdown: The Gunung Kucir from Besole is a hors catégorie climb: 5.2 km with 524 m of elevation gain, averaging 10%. The real pain is between km 1.0 and 2.5, with gradients of 14%, 17% and then 15%, and the 1.5-2.0 section is the nastiest of the lot. Breaks are rare and short, like the 4% at km 0.5-1.0 or the 3% at km 2.5-3.0, so you're on the pedals the whole way.
Pacing tips:
1. Ease into it: Don't get carried away over the first 500 metres at 8%, because the 14 to 17% ramps from km 1.0 to km 2.5 are where the climb really tests you.
2. Make the most of the easier stretches: Use the 4% section (km 0.5-1.0) and the 3% section (km 2.5-3.0) to recover and get your cadence back to a smooth rhythm.
3. Manage the finish: Between km 3.5 and 5.0, where the gradient varies from 13% down to 10%, stay seated and keep a steady cadence, then dig in on the 2% final stretch.
