Pacing tips:
1. Ease into it The km 0.0-1.0 and km 1.0-2.0 sections, at 6-7%, will tempt you to go out too hard. Settle into a strong but controlled rhythm right from the foot of the climb.
2. Recover on the flatter bits Make the most of the km 4.0-5.0 gentle descent and the 0-2% sections (km 5.0-6.0, 6.0-7.0 and 10.0-11.0) to top up your water and carbs before the harder stretches.
3. Save something for the finish Hit the km 7.0-8.0 ramp at 5% with a smooth cadence, then keep some energy in the tank for the final 4% section (km 12.0-12.9).
