Pacing tips:
1. Start easy. The 7% from km 0.0 to 1.0 will tempt you to push, but save something for the 11% from km 1.0 to 2.0.
2. Use the km 4.0-5.0 recovery section. At -1%, it's the perfect spot to recover, drink and fuel up before the 8% then 7% ramps that follow.
3. Keep your effort measured to the top. After the 10% section from km 7.0 to 8.0, hold a steady rhythm through the 5% from km 10.0 to 10.6 rather than getting caught out by an early surge.
