Pacing tips:
1. Managing your effort on the steep pitches: Plan ahead for the two brutal sections (1.0-2.0 km and 3.0-3.5 km) and ease off the pace from the bottom to avoid blowing up.
2. Making the most of the flat: Use the flat section at 2.0 km to recover actively (spin easy in a low gear) without stopping, so you reach the final part fresh.
3. Choosing your gearing: Fit a gear ratio suited to the sections above 14%, so you can keep a sustainable cadence without burning out your legs too early.
