1. Pace yourself from the bottom. Don't go full gas over the first 500 metres at 5%, or you'll pay for it on the 8% ramps that follow.
2. Prepare for the 8% ramps. Shift down before km 0.5 and before km 2.0, then keep a steady cadence and stay seated to save your legs.
3. Manage the 4% and 5% sections. Between km 3.0 and 3.5, don't ease off; use the flat section from km 4.0 to 4.2 to recover and get ready to kick for the final sprint.
