Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard The first 1,000 metres at 14-15% (km 0.0-1.0) need to be ridden with a smooth cadence and controlled power, so you still have fresh legs when you reach the heart of the climb.
2. Recover on the 4% section The km 1.5-2.0 stretch is the only real respite on the climb: use it to catch your breath, take on fluids and settle back into a steady rhythm.
3. Save something for km 2.0-2.5 The 8% section is the last real test; after that, the gradient drops (5% from km 2.5-3.0, then 3% from km 3.0-3.5), which will let you push on to the finish.
