2. Prepare for the hard sections: Get ready mentally and physically for the key stretches, especially the 9% kilometre after km 11 and the 10% finale. Tackle them in a gear that lets you keep a steady cadence.
3. Mental game: Break the climb into chunks based on gradient changes. Focus on one segment at a time so the total length doesn't overwhelm you.
