Tips

Difficulty analysis: This Category 1 climb gets progressively harder. The start is relatively gentle, but the second half is noticeably tougher, with three brutal sections: 12% over 500m at KM 4.5, then the crux at 16% over 500m at KM 5.0, before the finish at 11%. The 9% average gradient is misleading, hiding a very hard finale.

Pacing advice:

1. Managing your pace early on: The first 3 km are the least steep (average gradient ~6.5%). Use this section to find a steady rhythm without burning matches.

2. Saving something for the finale: Keep some in the tank for the last 1.8 km (KM 4.5 to 5.8), where the gradient constantly stays above 11%. This is where the climb is won or lost.

3. Adjusting your gearing to the kilometre: Be ready to shift down significantly for the 12% and 16% sections to keep your cadence up and avoid blowing up your legs.
