Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is deceptive. It starts gradually, with moderate gradients (1-4%) over the first 3 kilometers, followed by a tougher central section (5-7% between km 3 and 7). The real pain comes at the end: a kilometer at 7% finished off by a very steep final 400m at 10%.
Pacing tips:
1. Start easy: Use the first few kilometers, where the gradient is gentle, to settle into a steady rhythm without burning matches.
2. Save something for the finish: Keep some legs in reserve for the last 1.4 km (7% then 10%), which are the hardest. Manage your effort through the central section (km 3-7) so you don't redline too early.
3. Hold a steady cadence: On the 5-6% stretches, which make up the heart of the climb, look for a smooth, consistent cadence so you reach the final ramp with enough left in the tank.
