Climb difficulty: This Category 3 climb has an uneven profile. The first kilometre is fairly easy at 2%, then it ramps up noticeably from KM 2.0 with three sections at 8%, the steepest of them in the final kilometre. The effort builds crescendo-style, with the hardest part saved for the end.
How to manage your effort:
1. Start easy: Use the first two kilometres (gradients of 2% to 4%) to settle into a steady rhythm without going too hard, so you save your legs for later.
2. Prepare for the 8% sections: The steep stretches (KM 2.0-2.5 and KM 4.0-4.5) demand serious muscular and cardiovascular output. Tackle them in a gear that lets you keep your cadence up.
3. Mental management of the finale: The gradient stays sustained (5% to 8%) over the last kilometre. Keep something in the tank for this decisive section, where the average gradient is at its highest.
