The first three kilometres are fairly rolling, with gradients between 0% and 5% that let you find a rhythm.

Pacing tips:
1. Save your legs in the first part. Between km 0.0 and 3.0, dose your effort so you reach km 3.0 fresh, where the gradient suddenly ramps up to 6%.
2. Prepare for the 9% section between km 4.0 and 5.0. Select a light enough gear from km 3.0 onwards so you can keep a steady cadence without mashing the pedals.
3. Stay mentally strong on the final stretch. The last 300 m, between km 5.0 and 5.3, stay at 8%: don't ease off, the summit is coming up fast.
