2. Handle the 2.0-2.5 km stretch: At 8%, stay seated, keep a smooth cadence and make the most of the easier 4% gradient between km 2.5 and 3.0 to recover.
3. Attack the final section: Between km 5.0 and 6.0, at 3%, use a bigger gear to finish strong, then ease off on the -5% descent from km 6.0 to 6.2.
