Difficulty breakdown: This category 1 climb is hard and sustained over its first two-thirds. The 6% average gradient is deceptive, because the first 7 km string together some serious sections, with several stretches at 8% and 9%. The real issue is the lack of any meaningful respite before the 7 km mark. The finish is more manageable, with the gradient easing to 1-2% between 7.0 and 8.0 km, before a final push at 5-6%.
Pacing advice:
1. Managing the start: The first kilometre is very steep (7-8%). Don't go out too hard, or you'll blow your legs before you've even settled in.
2. Anticipating the hard sections: Mentally mark the 8-9% stretches (0.5-1.0 km, 1.5-2.0 km, 5.5-6.0 km). Ease off the pace slightly as you approach them so you hit them with some fresh legs.
3. Making the most of the breather: Use the easier section between 7.0 and 8.0 km (1-2%) to recover while keeping a steady rhythm, before the steeper finish.
