Difficulty breakdown: This Cat 2 climb has a tactical profile. The first half (KM 0.0 to 2.5) is moderate at 3-6%, more of a warm-up. Things get serious in the central section (KM 2.5 to 4.0), where the gradient ramps up to 9-11% and most of the elevation gain is packed in. The final stretch (KM 4.0 to 4.9) gives you a welcome breather, with the grade easing to 7% and then 1%.
Tips for riding it:
1. Pacing: Save your legs over the first 2.5 km. Your main effort needs to be spread over the hard 1.5 km section between 2.5 and 4.0 km.
2. Prepare for the change in gradient: Get your head and legs ready for the 9-11% ramps after KM 2.5. A smooth transition is key to avoid blowing up by starting too hard.
3. Active recovery: Use the last kilometre (7% then 1%) to recover while keeping a good cadence, rather than emptying the tank all the way to the top.
