1. Pace yourself from the bottom. The first 8 km, at 1-3%, are the time to settle into a steady rhythm and save some legs for what's coming.
2. Prepare for the 7-9% sections. Between km 13 and 16, drop into an easy enough gear and stay seated to keep your cadence smooth.
3. Manage the final part. Km 18 to 20 sits at 8 to 9%: keep drinking and fuelling regularly before you tackle that last push.
