Difficulty breakdown: At 11.8 km with 517 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.4%, this Cat 1 climb stands out mainly for its consistency. The real work comes between km 2 and km 5, then again at km 6-7, where it stays at 7% for roughly four km in total. The km 9-10 section, almost flat, gives you a real breather, but the final kilometres still ramp up at 1%.
Tips for the effort:
1. Pace the start. The km 0-1 section at 3% is the perfect spot to settle into a steady rhythm and save some matches for the 7% stretches.
2. Keep it steady through the middle section. From km 2 to km 5, then again at km 6-7, hold a consistent cadence and a sensible gear rather than lighting up surges that will cost you later.
3. Recover at km 9-10. Use the near-flat section to eat, drink and drop your shoulders, so you hit the final 1% kilometres in good shape.
