Difficulty analysis:
This 1st category climb is a genuine test, with a sustained average gradient of 6.4% over nearly 10 km. The middle section makes it even tougher: between km 2.0 and 6.0, the gradient consistently stays above 7%, with a brutal spike to 10% between km 4.5 and 5.0. The climbing is steady, with no real respite.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself through the middle section: Prepare for the steepest part (KM 4.5-5.5, 9-10% gradient) by holding back in the early kilometres so you don't blow up.
2. Make the most of the brief flatter stretches: The short sections at 4-5% (around KM 7.0 and near the end) are chances to ease off the pressure for a moment and recover without losing too much speed.
3. Hold a steady rhythm: The length and overall consistency of the gradients reward a steady output rather than surges in pace, which cost a lot of energy.
