Pacing advice:
1. Hold a steady rhythm from the bottom, riding at your aerobic threshold. Don't red-line it on the 6% sections.
2. Save something for the finish: keep some in the tank for the 6% kilometer between 15 and 16 km, followed by an easier final half-kilometer (3%).
3. Manage your effort section by section, using the small gradient changes (4-5-6%) to adjust your cadence without changing your power output.
