Pacing tips:
1. Ease into it. On the first kilometre (5% then 6%), stay steady so you still have fresh legs when you hit the 7% section between km 2.0 and 2.5.
2. Make the most of the false flat. Between km 1.0 and km 1.5 (-1%), recover and get ready to go again without blowing yourself up.
3. Handle the steep sections. From km 2.5 to 3.0 (8%) and km 5.0 to 5.5 (7%), spin a smooth cadence with a gear that suits you, then save some energy for the final 1% stretch (km 6.0 to 6.3).
