Pacing tips:
1. Manage the start. The first few km at 5% shouldn't leave you cooked before the 10% ramp from km 1.0 to km 1.5.
2. Recover on the easier sections. The short descent at -1% from km 2.5 to km 3.0 and the 2% stretch from km 3.5 to km 4.0 are perfect for spinning your legs and getting ready to go again.
3. Finish strong. After the 5% section from km 4.0 to km 5.0, the final 200 m at 6% call for a controlled effort, not a premature sprint.
