Pacing tips:
1. Managing your pace on the first section: Resist the temptation to go too hard over the first 15 km, which are relatively flat. Use this section to save your legs by spinning an easy gear.
2. Preparing for the final wall: Save some physical and mental reserves for the 16 to 19 km stretch. Get ready for a significant jump in intensity, especially on the km at 12%.
3. Pacing in steps: On the steep section, try to hold a steady cadence rather than surging and fading. The gradient drops to 6% and then 1% toward the end, which gives you a chance to partly recover before the finish.
