Tips

Difficulty analysis: This Category 3 climb is moderately hard over 4.5 km. The main challenge is the central kilometre (1.0-1.5), with a brutal 10% gradient that demands careful pacing. The rest of the route alternates between sections at 4-7% and an easier finish (2% over the last kilometre).

Pacing advice:

- Manage your effort on the 10% kilometre: Anticipate the steepest section and don't go out too hard, or you'll blow up before this key passage.

- Use the flatter parts (KM 1.5-2.0 and 3.5-4.5) to recover while holding a steady rhythm without digging too deep, so you reach the next ramps fresher.

- Keep a smooth, steady cadence on the 4 to 7% slopes that make up most of the climb, saving your power for the 10% segment.
