Tips

Climb difficulty analysis: This 2nd category climb has a moderate difficulty due to its uneven profile. The hard work is concentrated in the first part, with two severe sections at 10% over the first kilometer, followed by a breather at 3%. The finish is easier (6% then 3%), but the initial effort is decisive.

Pacing tips:

1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go off too hard in the first 10% sections. Settle into a rhythm you can hold over the first 500 meters.

2. Make the most of the breather: Use the 3% section (KM 1.0-1.5) to recover and bring your heart rate down before the next ramp at 9%.

3. Build back up gradually: After KM 1.5, shift progressively into easier gears to attack the 9% gradient without surging, knowing the finish is less steep.
