The effort is sustained: ten of the fifteen km sit between 4% and 7%, with a particularly hard stretch between km 3 and 5 at 7%.

Tips for managing the effort:
1. Pace yourself from the start In the early km at 5%, don't go out too hard. Keep a steady cadence so you still have legs left for the 7% section between km 3 and 5.
2. Make the most of the flat bits Use the 2% stretches at km 1 to 2 and 7 to 8 to drink, fuel up and get your breath back without digging into your reserves.
3. Save something for the finish Hit km 13 to 14 at 12% with a smooth cadence and the right gears, because that's where the climb is won or lost.
