2. Save something for the hard finish: Keep some energy in reserve for the last 4 km (KM 17-20.8), where the gradient ranges from 8% to 12%, the toughest part of the climb.
3. Ride it in sections: The gradient changes often. Ease off your effort on the 9% stretches (KM 8-10, KM 16-17, KM 19-20.8) to avoid redlining.
