Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start: In the first kilometers at 4-5%, stay at an effort you can hold all the way to the summit rather than going out too hard.
2. Make the most of the flat section: Between KM 1.5 and KM 2.5, where the gradient is zero, recover, drink and eat so you tackle the 6-7% sections that follow in good shape.
3. Manage the final 7% section: From KM 4.5 to KM 5.5, keep a smooth cadence with well-chosen gears, because this is where the climb is decided.
