Pacing advice:
1. Manage your pace: Ride in endurance mode over the first third (≈ up to KM 15) to save your legs. Whatever you do, don't go out too hard.
2. Prepare for the hard sections: The steepest gradients (6-8%) are concentrated in the second half. Tackle them in an easy gear with a steady rhythm to avoid blowing up.
3. Break it down mentally: Split the climb into three segments: the approach (KM 0-15), the heart of the climb (KM 16-28), and the final grind (KM 29-34.6). Focus on one segment at a time.
