Difficulty breakdown: This Category 1 climb is a serious test, with a tough average gradient of 9% over 6.2 km. The final section makes it harder: the kilometre between 5.0 and 5.5 km has the steepest pitch at 13%, followed by a last stretch at 10%.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: The first 500 metres at 9% and the next section at 11% hit you straight away. Don't go out too hard, or you'll burn your matches early.
2. Anticipate the gradient changes: The gradient is very uneven (from 6% to 13%). Keep a steady cadence and shift to an easier gear before the 11% and 13% sections, especially after the summit at 5.5 km.
3. Save something for the finish: The climb ends with two very hard kilometres (13% then 10%). Don't empty the tank on the "easier" part around 3.5-4.0 km (7%), so you still have legs left for the finale.
