Pacing advice:
1. Controlling your pace from the bottom: Resist the temptation to overpace on the first 7% ramp (km 0.5-1.0). Use the 1-3% sections in the first part to recover and settle into a steady cadence.
2. Preparing for the heart of the climb: Hit km 3.5 to 5.5 with something left in the tank. These 2 km averaging 6-7% are the key section. Find a rhythm you can hold for the whole stretch.
3. Saving something for the finale: The final section (km 6.0-6.3) at 8% is brutal. Don't blow up on the easier last kilometre (3%), and save enough energy for that final effort.
