Pacing tips:
1. Managing the start: Hold back the initial urge to attack the steep opening kilometres, or you'll blow up early.
2. Prepare for the ramp: Use the descent at km 5-6 and the easier gradient that follows to recover before the savage 11% kick at km 7.
3. Steady rhythm: Once past the peak of difficulty, settle into a consistent tempo for the final 8 km, where the average gradient is around 6%.
