Tips for the climb:
1. Pace the start. On the km 0.0-0.5 section at 5%, hold a steady rhythm and don't go out too hard, so you have something left for later.
2. Recover on the flat. Use the km 0.5-1.0 section at 0% to sit down in the saddle, relax your shoulders, drink and reset your effort.
3. Keep the cadence in the final. On the last km 6.5-6.8 at 11%, shift to an easier gear, stay seated and keep a smooth cadence so you don't blow up too early.
