Climb analysis: This 4.3 km climb with 224 m of elevation gain averages 5.3%, which makes it a Category 3 climb. The first kilometres, at 3% over 0.0-1.0, are rolling and let you warm up the legs. The difficulty ramps up noticeably between km 2.5 and 4.0, where the gradient hits 6%, then 8% over 3.0-3.5. The final stretch, from 4.0 to 4.3 km at 8%, is the toughest section of the climb.
Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Don't go out too hard: the opening kilometres at 3% tempt you to go too fast, so keep a steady cadence to reach the steepest part still fresh.
2. Prepare for the 3.0-3.5 section: at 8%, shift into an easier gear, stay seated and keep a smooth cadence without digging yourself into the red.
3. Save something for the finish: the 4.0 to 4.3 km stretch, also at 8%, calls for holding some energy in reserve so you only push harder as the top comes into sight.
