How to manage the effort:
1. Start controlled: Resist the urge to go too hard over the first kilometers at 11-12%. Settle into a steady rhythm to avoid blowing up early.
2. Make the most of the easier section: Use the easier stretch (KM 4.0-6.0) to recover by easing off a bit, without soft-pedaling too much.
3. Save something for the finish: Keep some energy in reserve for the short but steep 10% ramp around KM 6.5, before the flat final section.
