Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 3 climb has a split profile. Most of the difficulty is packed into the first 1.5 km, with a steep 9% section between 1.0 and 1.5 km. The middle part (2.0-2.5 km) gives you a welcome breather at just 2%, before a slightly uphill finish.

Pacing tips:

1. Start controlled: Don't go out too hard on the 7% and 9% ramps at the bottom, or you'll blow up early.

2. Use the recovery stretch: Spin the 2% section around 2.0-2.5 km to recover actively (small gear, high cadence) before the final climb.

3. Save something for the end: The 5% finish over 200m needs a bit of punch, so make sure you've got some energy left for that last effort.
