2. Control the heart of the climb Between km 1.5 and 3.0, where the gradient hits 8% then 9%, keep a smooth cadence and a gear that suits you, and don't go off too hard.
3. Empty the tank on the final ramp Over the last 4.0-4.4 km at 8%, dig into whatever you have left, and get out of the saddle to dance on the pedals if you need to in order to finish strong.
