Pacing advice:
1. Start easy: Use the first 2 km, where the gradient is low, to settle into a steady rhythm without going too hard, so you reach the crucial section with something left in the tank.
2. Prepare for the heart of the climb: From KM 2.0, get ready mentally and physically for a significant jump in gradient (7-9%). Shift to a suitable gear and adjust your effort to hold a steady cadence.
3. Recover on the upper slopes: Once you pass KM 4.5, the gradient eases to a more manageable 4-6%. Use this section to back off the intensity slightly and recover before the summit.
