Those two kilometres are the real decider of the climb.
Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace yourself from the bottom: on km 0 to 1 and km 4 to 5, at 3%, ride at a moderate effort so you still have something in the tank for the steepest section.
2. Prepare for the km 8 to km 10 stretch: shift into an easy enough gear before the 14% of km 8 and keep a smooth cadence rather than mashing the pedals.
3. Dig deep for the finish: on the final stretch from km 10 to km 10.8, at 9%, empty the tank and keep your eyes on the finish line.
