Pacing tips:
1. Keep your head at the start. Don't go out too hard over km 0.0-1.0 at 10%. It's the most common temptation and the one that costs you the most later on.
2. Recover on the easy sections. Make the most of the 2% flat over km 2.0-3.0 and the 1% section over km 6.0-7.0 to take on food, drink and relax your shoulders.
3. Adjust your gearing in the final part. On the 5% stretches of km 9.0-10.0 and 11.0-12.0, pick a gear that lets you keep a steady cadence without going into the red.
