Climb difficulty: With 7 km of climbing, roughly 300 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 4.3%, the ascent from Ponikovica to Превија is more than deserving of its Category 1 rating. The start is the hardest part: the first 500 metres kick up at 10%, then from 0.5 to 2 km the gradient stays between 5 and 6% with no real respite. The second half alternates between flat sections, false flats and a short descent (-2% between 3.0 and 3.5 km), before a steep finish at 8% between 6.0 and 6.5 km.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Manage the start. Don't get carried away by the 10% of the first 500 metres: settle into a steady cadence so you still have something in the tank for the sections that follow.
2. Recover on the rolling sections. Use the descent between 3.0 and 3.5 km and the 0% flat between 4.5 and 5.0 km to relax your shoulders, drink and get your head back in the game.
3. Save something for the finish. Save your best watts for the 8% ramp between 6.0 and 6.5 km, then hold a strong pace on the flat stretch from 6.5 to 7.0 km all the way to the line.
