Tips

Difficulty breakdown: This 5.5 km climb with 304 m of elevation gain, averaging 5.6%, is rated Cat 2. The first kilometers come in at 4 to 6%, then the 2.5-3.0 km section ramps up to 7%. The real crux is between 4.0 and 5.0 km, where the gradient hits 9% and then sits at 8% for almost a kilometer, before an easier finish at 4% from 5.0 to 5.5 km.

Pacing tips:

1. Save your legs at the start Over the first 0.5 km at 4%, stay below your threshold so you reach the steepest part with fresh legs.

2. Hold a steady rhythm on the 9% section Between 4.0 and 5.0 km, pick a smooth gear, stay seated if you can, and focus on a consistent cadence.

3. Attack the final section Once past 5.0 km, the gradient drops back to 4% for the last 500 meters: make the most of it, build your pace gradually and empty the tank.
