2. Recover on KM 2.0-2.5. This -1% stretch is your chance to drop your shoulders, sit back in the saddle and get your breath back before the final push.
3. Save something for the finish. KM 3.0-3.5 at 9% comes after a section at 6%. Only get out of the saddle if you still have the legs for it; otherwise stay seated and keep a steady cadence.
