Difficulty breakdown: The Rzepiska climb has a very uneven profile. Its difficulty is concentrated in an extremely punishing central section, 500 metres at 16%, with easier stretches on either side, including a portion at 2%. The average gradient of 6.9% is misleading and doesn't reflect how brutal the section between km 1.0 and 1.5 really is.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pacing the start: The first two half-kilometres (5% and 6%) are manageable. Use them to settle into a steady rhythm without burning your legs too early.
2. Saving something for the middle section: Know the 16% ramp is coming. Hit it with fresh legs, be ready to drop into an easier gear, and keep your cadence high to get over this hard part.
3. Recovering where you can: The 2% section after the wall is a good chance to recover a bit before the final 6% push to the finish.
