The hardest section comes between km 0.5 and 1.5, with 14% then 11%, right after a start already at 6%.

Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start. The first 500 metres at 6% tempt you to go out too hard, but you need to save something for the 14% section between 0.5 and 1.0 km.
2. Recover on the false flat descent. Use the 2.0-2.5 km stretch at -1% to drink, eat and loosen up your legs before the second half of the col.
3. Keep a steady cadence to the end. Between 3.0 and 6.0 km, the gradient hovers between 7% and 9%: keep a consistent rhythm, then save some energy for the final 6.5-6.8 km section at 10%.
