1. Pace your start On KM 0.0-0.5 at 6%, don't go out too hard, because you'll need to hold something in reserve for the 5% sections that follow.
2. Make the most of the breather On KM 1.0-1.5 (3%), take the chance to drink, eat something and settle back into a steady rhythm.
3. Recover before the final push On the rolling section, from KM 3.0-3.5 to KM 4.5-5.0, keep your cadence smooth and choose a gear that lets you spin, so you have legs left for the finishing sprint.
