2. Recover on the descent. Make the most of the km 1.5 to 2.0 section, a gentle false-flat downhill, to loosen up your legs, get your breathing back and recover before the 8% section.
3. Adjust your gearing on the 8% ramps. On km 0.5-1.0 and 2.0-2.5, go for a high, steady cadence and stay seated if you can, to save your legs.
