Difficulty analysis: With 5.6 km for 206 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 3.7%, this 3rd-category climb remains doable, but its profile is uneven. The crux sits between km 3.0 and km 4.0, where the gradient ramps up to 6% and then 9%, after three kilometers already steady between 3% and 4%. The near-flat section from km 4.0 to km 5.0 then offers a breather before a final stretch at 5% from km 5.5 to 5.6.
Pacing advice:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first three kilometers, between 3% and 4%, should be ridden at a steady effort so you still have something in the tank for what comes next.
2. Prepare for the hardest part. Between km 3.0 and km 4.0 (6% then 9%), drop to a lighter gear, stay in the saddle and keep a smooth, consistent cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
3. Recover on the false flat. Use the almost flat stretch from km 4.0 to km 5.0 to eat and drink, then pick the pace back up to tackle the final 5% (km 5.5-5.6) without blowing up.
