2. Anticipating the change of rhythm: From the 4th km, the gradient jumps suddenly to 6-7%. Build your effort gradually to avoid blowing up.
3. Holding a steady effort through the heart of the climb: Between km 4.0 and km 8.0, the gradient is remarkably consistent (7-8%). Find a steady rhythm you can hold without surges all the way to the final flat-to-descent section.
