Tips for managing your effort:
1. Hold back at the start On the first three kilometres at 8%, 7% and then 6%, spin an easy gear and keep a steady rhythm to save something in the tank for later.
2. Make the most of the easier sections Between km 3 and km 5, where the gradient drops to 3% and then 2%, drink, eat and pick up your cadence again before the 4% and 6% ramps.
3. Control the final descent On the section at -11% (from km 10.0 to km 10.2), brake progressively and keep a clean line so you stay safe.
