2. Make the most of the 3% section Between km 2.5 and km 3.0, take a few moments to recover, then pick your cadence back up so you hit the 6% pitch from km 3.0 to km 3.5 in good shape.

3. Finish strong to the summit After the 4% section from km 3.5 to km 4.0, hold a steady effort on the final flat from km 4.0 to km 4.2 and save some legs to get over the top.
