Tips

Climb difficulty analysis: This 3rd category climb (3.6 km at 5.3%) is moderately hard. The first half-kilometer at 7% is the most demanding section, followed by a fairly steady profile alternating stretches between 4% and 6%. With no severe gradient (>8%), it's a climb that's within reach for most riders, but the steep start calls for careful effort management.

Pacing tips:

1. Managing the start: Don't go out too hard in the first 500 meters at 7%. Settle into a steady rhythm you can hold for the whole climb.

2. Using the breaks: Use the 4% sections (KM 1.5-2.0 and KM 3.0-3.5) to recover a little and adjust your pace if needed.

3. Steady rhythm: The consistency of the gradients (mostly 4-6%) after the first kilometer lends itself to a constant effort. Avoid surging to save your energy.
