Pacing tips:
1. Ride a disciplined power output. Avoid surging on the 7% sections (KM 5-6, 10-11, 23-24, 27-28) so you keep your legs fresh for the long haul.
2. Make the most of the flat sections. KM 26-27 (0%) is key for easing off, drinking and eating without losing much speed.
3. Find a climber's rhythm. The 5.6% average suits a steady, sustained cadence. Pick a gear that lets you hold a stable heart rate.
