Tips for pacing the climb:
1. Save your legs on the rolling section. On KM 0.0-4.0, with gradients of 0% to 4%, keep a steady pace so you reach the foot of the steep part with some left in the tank.
2. Handle the 6-8% section without going into the red. Between KM 4.0 and 7.5, keep a smooth cadence (around 80 to 90 rpm), pick a gear that lets you stay in the saddle, and avoid surges on KM 6.0-6.5.
3. Use the flat section to prepare for the finale. KM 7.5-8.0 at 0% is the perfect chance to eat, drink and get your rhythm back before the final 6-7% kilometres to the finish.
