Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard On the opening 9% section, hold a steady rhythm and avoid blowing up before the 8% ramps in the middle of the climb.
2. Make the most of the descents Recover on the descending sections (km 2.0 to 2.5 and km 4.5 to 5.0), keeping your legs loose, then pick the pace back up as soon as the road starts climbing again.
3. Save something for the finish On the 7% section from km 7.0 to 7.5, manage your effort so you still have something left for the last stretch, which eases to 3% (km 7.5 to 7.8). Choose an appropriate gear.
