Tips

Difficulty analysis: This 2.9 km climb is moderate in difficulty (3rd category) but has a demanding profile. The middle section (KM 0.5 to 2.0) is the toughest, with gradients between 7% and 9%. The final stretch (KM 2.5-2.9) gives you a breather with a slight downhill of -1%.

Tips for managing the effort:

1. Pace yourself from the start: The first part at 3% is deceptive. Use it to find a steady rhythm before the steep 9% section.

2. Focus on the key section: Hold a steady power output over the steepest kilometre (0.5-1.0 km) so you don't blow up.

3. Use the final stretch: The last section on a slight downhill lets you recover before the summit. Ease off the pressure a little so you can finish strong.
