Pacing tips:
1. Manage the start Don't go out too hard on the opening section at 14% (km 0.0-0.5). Keep a steady cadence so you still have something in the tank before the steepest part.
2. Use the flat spots Take advantage of the 6% section (km 3.5-4.0) and the 4% section (km 6.5-7.0) to drink, fuel up and ease off the pedals without losing too much speed.
3. Prepare for the 20% ramp Shift to an easier gear before km 4.5, stay seated and keep a high cadence so you don't burn out your legs with out-of-the-saddle efforts.
