Tips

Difficulty analysis: This 6.3 km climb averages 5.9% for 372 m of elevation gain, which puts it in the 1st category. The start is the steepest section, with 10% over the first 500 metres, followed by a 7% stretch between 2.0 and 2.5 km. After the flat section from km 2.5 to 3.0 and the short descent from km 3.0 to 3.5, the second half alternates between 6% and 8% all the way to the summit, with no real respite. The climb therefore demands a sustained, steady effort, more demanding than the distance alone would suggest.

Pacing tips:

1. Pace your start. Don't go out too hard on the 10% section from km 0.0 to 0.5, because blowing up at the bottom will cost you dearly later on.

2. Make the most of the flat. Use the 0% section from km 2.5 to 3.0 and the descent from km 3.0 to 3.5 to recover and get your rhythm back.

3. Manage the second half. Between km 4.0 and km 6.0, the 6 to 8% gradients call for a gear you can turn comfortably and a steady cadence to save your legs for the top.
