Climb difficulty analysis: This Cat 3 climb has a two-part profile. The first half (up to KM 4.5) is relatively easy, with moderate gradients and even a short descent. Things ramp up noticeably in the second half, peaking with two kilometres at 8% between KM 5.5 and KM 6.5. The effort builds gradually but the finale is demanding.
How to manage the effort:
1. Pacing: Ease into the opening kilometres, where the gradient is gentle, so you save your legs for the harder sections at the end.
2. Anticipating the change of rhythm: Get ready mentally and physically for the steeper gradient from KM 5.0 onwards. Don't blow up on the two sections at 8%.
3. Finding your threshold: The average gradient of 4.5% allows a steady rhythm, but keep something in reserve to get over the 6-8% stretches without going into the red.
