Tips

Difficulty breakdown: Fromberg is a short but demanding climb, with 73 m of elevation gain over 2 km and an average gradient of 3.6%. The first two kilometres hold steady at 4%, a sustained pace that slowly grinds down the legs. The hardest section sits between km 1.0 and km 1.5 at 5%, before a rolling final stretch at 2% lets you finish with a kick. Rated Cat 4, it's manageable, but you need to pace your effort well.

Tips for pacing the climb:

1. Don't go out too hard The first 500 metres at 4% tempt you to set a high tempo: hold a steady cadence and save something for later.

2. Prepare for the 5% section Shift into an easier gear before km 1.0 and keep your cadence smooth so you hold your power through the steepest part.

3. Kick on in the 2% section Between km 1.5 and km 2.0, use the easier gradient to recover and build speed all the way to the top.
