How to pace the climb:
1. Managing your pace through the middle section: Plan ahead for the hard stretch from km 2.5 to 4.0. Don't go out too hard, and ease off as soon as the first 8% hits so you reach the 11% ramp without already being in the red.
2. Making the most of the breather: Use the flat and descending section (km 4.0 to 5.0) to recover actively: ease the pressure on the pedals, drink, and mentally prepare for the final climb.
3. Saving something for the finish: The gradient kicks back up to 6% after 5.0 km. Keep enough in the tank to hold a good rhythm on this last section until the gentler gradient leading to the finish.
