1. Start controlled. On the km 0.0-1.0 section at 5%, settle into a steady rhythm so you don't blow up right from the bottom of the climb.
2. Recover on the flat. Use the km 7.0-10.0 stretch, where the gradient is almost nil, to drink, fuel up and catch your breath.
3. Save something for the finish. Don't burn your last matches before km 10.0-12.0, where the gradient goes to 8% and then 10%, because that's where the race is decided.
