The start is very steep, with 12% from km 0 to km 1 and then 11% from km 1 to km 2, and the stretch from km 4 to km 7 stays tough with gradients between 10 and 12%.

Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too hard. The first two km at 11-12% will tempt you to go full gas, so keep a controlled rhythm to reach the km 4 to km 7 section with your legs intact.
2. Recover on the flat bits. Use the false flat from km 2 to km 3 and the km 8 to km 9 section to drink, eat and spin easy, without losing too much time.
3. Save something for the finish. After the short break from km 24 to km 25 (2%), the final stretch from km 25 to km 25.9 at 8% comes at the worst possible moment, so dose your effort from km 20 to reach the top with some left in the tank.
