Tips for the effort:
1. Pace the opening without blowing up Over the first 500 m at 11%, keep the effort controlled so you hit the 18% ramp with something left in the tank.
2. Prepare for the 18% section from km 0.5 to km 1.0 Shift to an easier gear, stay in the saddle and hold a steady cadence rather than trying to attack.
3. Recover on the 4% section from km 2.0 to km 2.5 Use this more rolling stretch to drink, take on fuel and gradually build the pace back up before the 7% from km 2.5 to km 3.0.
