Pacing tips:
1. Start at a sensible pace. On the first km at 8%, keep your effort even and don't go out too hard, because there are still nearly ten kilometres to go.
2. Make the most of the km 7 to km 8 flat. At 3%, this section is ideal for recovering, drinking and getting some food in before you tackle the 10% ramp from km 8 to km 9.
3. Save something for the finish. Once you've got over the 10% section, the 3% false flat from km 10 to km 10.7 is easier to ride with a light gear and a smooth, relaxed cadence.
