Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is moderately hard, thanks to its average gradient of 4% over 12.6 km. The difficulty comes from how uneven the profile is: the 6% sections (km 0-1 and 2-3) and the 5% sections (km 7-8 and 9-10) demand sustained effort, separated by longer, gentler stretches (1% to 3% between km 4 and 7) where you can recover.

Pacing advice:

1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go too hard over the first kilometres at 6%. Save something in the tank for the two tough sections near the end of the climb (km 7-10).

2. Active recovery: Use the five flattest kilometres (km 4 to 7, gradient 1% to 3%) to ease off a little and get your breathing back under control, without slowing down too much.

3. Steady rhythm: Hold a consistent power output or cadence over the final kilometres (km 10-12.6), where the gradient settles around 4%, so you finish the effort under control.
