Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This Category 3 climb covers 1.6 km for 122 m of elevation gain, an average gradient of 7.4%. It's a tough but short climb. The profile breaks down into three sections: a 7% opening from 0.0-0.2 km, then a more rolling stretch at 3% between 0.2 and 0.8 km that gives you a breather. The real difficulty is concentrated in the final part, with 9% between 0.8 and 1.0 km, then 10 to 11% from 1.0-1.6 km, where your legs will really be put to the test.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Recover in the breather. Use the 0.2-0.8 km section at 3% to drink, eat something, and find a steady rhythm without blowing up.

2. Prepare for the 9% section. Shift to an easier gear before 0.8 km so you don't lose your cadence when the gradient ramps up between 0.8 and 1.0 km.

3. Manage the 10-11% finish. On the 1.0-1.6 km stretch, stay seated, keep a smooth cadence around 70 to 80 rpm, and save your last push for the 1.4-1.6 km section.
