Pacing tips:
1. Pace the start: Don't let the relatively gentle first kilometers (3%-6%) lure you into going too hard. Save something in the tank for the 9% ramp at the third kilometer.
2. Make the most of the descent: Use the downhill section (KM 6-8) to recover actively (spin lightly) and get your legs ready for the climb to resume.
3. Keep some reserves for the finish: The last part (KM 9-11.5) is demanding (7%-8%). Tackle it with fresh legs by having eased off your effort before the descent.
