The real test comes in the second half: between km 2.5 and km 4.5, gradients of 5 to 7% follow one another with no real break. The first few kilometers are easier, but don't let that fool you.

Tips for pacing yourself:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom. On the first section at 4%, keep a steady cadence so you still have something left for the 7% ramps at the end.
2. Use the flat stretch. The section from km 0.5 to km 1.0 is almost flat. Use it to drink, eat, and settle back into a smooth rhythm before the climb really starts.
3. Manage the final part. Between km 2.5 and km 4.5, pick a gear that lets you hold a steady cadence and don't burn your last matches on the 6 and 7% stretches.
