1. Pace the start In the first kilometers, especially between 0.0 and 1.5 with gradients of 6 to 8%, don't go out too hard. Settle into a steady rhythm right from the foot of the climb.
2. Recover on the flat section Use the 4.0 to 5.5 km stretch, at 1 to 2%, to take on fuel, relax your legs and build your cadence back up before the final push.
3. Hold it together to the top Between 5.5 and 7.3 km, keep a smooth cadence and stay seated when you hit the 7% section between 6.0 and 6.5 km so you don't burn out before the summit.
