Tips for the climb:
1. Pacing: Use the first few kilometres (2-3% gradients) to settle into a sustainable rhythm without going into the red.
2. Save something for the end: Keep some energy in the tank for the 6-7% sections between 7.5 and 8.5 km, which are the most demanding.
3. Steady effort: The gradient is fairly constant overall, so a smooth, even effort is the key to climbing efficiently.
