Tips for pacing the effort:
1. Find a steady rhythm from the start. On the first sections at 4% (KM 0.0-0.5), settle into a smooth cadence and don't go out too hard, because this col is decided over the duration.
2. Recover on the flat. Use the 2% stretch on KM 4.5-5.0 to drink, spin your legs out and get ready for the ramps ahead.
3. Prepare for the final ramps. Shift to an easy gear before KM 5.0-5.5 at 8%, and save some energy for KM 6.0-6.1, also at 8%, without blowing up too early.
