Out of interest, I had a bit poke about looking for Japan Cup info and here is Nicolas Roche's Strava from 2018 when he was fourth.
The sharp part of the climb, the Kogashiyama(?) segment, is 1.1km at 8.4%. I guess it must see lots of attacks. It's ridden fourteen times(!) with ten minutes "rest", so one for the climbers, not the punchers. They'll punch themselves out.
Nice to see Roche slow down to a more human 1400-1500VAM on slow laps. You need about 5w/kg for four minutes to keep up on one slow lap. Cat 3 on the Coggan chart.
