The hard work is concentrated in the first half, with two 12% ramps (km 1.5-2.0 and km 3.0-3.5) separated by more even sections. The final stretch, from km 8.0 to km 10.0, is still tough, with gradients of 7%, 5%, 3% and then 8% all the way to the line, after a false-flat and descent between km 4.5 and 7.5.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom. Don't go out too hard over the first kilometres at 6%, and save some legs for the 12% ramps at km 1.5 and km 3.0.
2. Recover on the rolling sections. Use the false-flat from km 4.0 to km 5.5 and the descent from km 4.5 to km 5.0 to drink, eat and get your cadence back to a smooth spin.
3. Finish with a high cadence. On the final push from km 9.5 to km 10.0 at 8%, stay in an easy gear and keep a steady cadence, because the gradient doesn't let up until the finish line.
