Difficulty breakdown: This short (1.7 km) but punchy climb has an average gradient of 8.1%. What makes it hard is how uneven it is: a very steep section of 20% over 40m between 0.2 and 0.4 km, followed by a run of 10% to 11% pitches in the second half. The sustained gradient and the steep ramps justify its Category 3 rating.
Tips for managing the effort:
1. Plan for the steepest ramp: The start is relatively manageable at 7%. Use this section to settle into a steady rhythm before the 20% wall, where a light gear and good effort management will be crucial to avoid blowing up.
2. Save something for the end: Don't ease off after the steep part. The gradient stays above 10% between 0.8 and 1.4 km. Pace yourself so you still have power in the legs for this tough stretch.
3. Recover on the final section: The last 100 metres at 5% give you a chance to spin your legs back up and set up a sprint for the line if you have one left.
