Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This 1st category climb is genuinely tough because of its uneven profile. The 6.7% average gradient over 5.7 km is demanding, but the real challenge is the sequence of 8% and 9% sections (KM 3.0-4.0) coming right after a "flatter" stretch at 5% (KM 2.0-3.0). The effort isn't constant, so you'll need to pace it carefully.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Pace yourself over the first kilometres: Resist the urge to go too hard despite the initial 7-8% ramps, so you don't burn out before the key section (KM 3.0-4.0).

2. Prepare for the wall (KM 3.0-4.0): Use the less steep section (KM 2.0-3.0) to recover a little and tackle the toughest double kilometre (8% then 9%) in the right gear with a controlled effort.

3. Keep a steady cadence: The variable gradient (from 5% to 9%) calls for constant attention to your gearing to avoid jerky changes in pace.
