2. Use the flat to recover. Between km 11 and km 13, at just 1%, eat, drink and let your legs relax so you tackle the km 13 wall with fresh legs.
3. Handle the 8% section. On the km 13 to km 14 stretch, alternate short bursts out of the saddle with time seated, keeping a steady cadence and digging into your reserves all the way to the top.
