The difficulty lies mainly in the consistency of the effort, since every kilometre hovers between 5% and 6% with no real respite.

Pacing tips:
1. Steady from the bottom. On KM 0.0-0.5 at 5%, don't go out too hard. Save something for KM 2.5-3.0.
2. Prepare for the 6% sections. Shift to an easier gear before KM 0.5-1.0 and KM 2.5-3.0, and keep a smooth cadence of around 80 to 90 rpm.
3. Manage the finish. On KM 3.0-3.3 at 5%, empty the tank with what you have left without blowing up, and stay seated if you can to keep good power transfer.
