Difficulty breakdown: With 7.7 km for 307 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4%, this Category 1 climb is mainly defined by its very steep start: KM 0.0-0.5 averages 8%, followed by sections at 5 and 6% up to KM 2.5. KM 3.0-3.5, at 8%, comes right after a short descending section at -5% (KM 2.5-3.0), which breaks your rhythm and really taxes the legs. The second half is mostly moderate (0 to 3%), except for KM 4.5-5.0 at 6%, before a 6% finish over KM 7.5-7.7.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace the start. The first 500 metres at 8% (KM 0.0-0.5) will tempt you to go out too hard. Settle into a steady rhythm and save some energy for later.
2. Make the most of the descent. Recover on the short -5% section (KM 2.5-3.0) so you hit KM 3.0-3.5 at 8% in a suitable gear and with a stable seated position.
3. Manage the finish. Between KM 3.5 and 7.0, keep a smooth cadence and drink regularly, then go again over KM 7.5-7.7 at 6%, where the final placings are often decided.
