Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. The 9% opening over km 0.0-1.0 tempts you to attack, but keep a smooth cadence or you'll be in the red well before km 2.0.
2. Manage the middle section. Between km 6.0 and km 8.0, at 6%, drop into a gear that suits you and hold a steady cadence to save something for the end.
3. Recover on the easier sections. Use the 3% stretches (km 4.0-5.0 and km 9.0-10.0) to grab a bite, drink, and get back up to speed without losing time.
