From km 0 to km 7, the gradient stays steady between 6% and 7%, which is a good reason not to go out too hard.

Tips for managing the effort:
1. Hold a steady pace from km 0: Over the first seven kilometers, keep your cadence and power even to save something in the tank for the steepest section.
2. Tackle the 12% section in an easy gear: From km 10 to km 11, pick a gear light enough to keep spinning smoothly, stay fluid, and avoid jerky pedaling that would burn through your legs.
3. Recover on the 3% section: Use the last kilometer, from km 12 to km 13, to catch your breath, drink, and get rolling again cleanly all the way to the top.
