1. Save your legs at the start On KM 0.0-0.5 and KM 1.0-2.0, at 3%, stay seated and use an easy gear so you reach the steepest part fresh.
2. Steady rather than explosive From KM 2.0-2.5 to KM 5.0-5.5, keep your effort even and your cadence smooth rather than going hard on the 8% section at KM 2.0-2.5.
3. Empty the tank on the final ramp On KM 5.0-5.5, at 8%, dig into your last reserves, then ease off without braking hard on the short descent at KM 5.5-5.6.
