These first 1.5 km account for most of the elevation gain and demand a sustained effort from the get-go. After km 1.5, the gradient drops to 4%, then to 3% between km 2.0 and 2.5, which gives you a real breather before the finish.

Pacing tips:
1. Hold back at the start. Don't let the excitement get the better of you over the first 500 metres at 11%. Settle into a rhythm you can hold until km 1.5.
2. Recover between the steep sections. Between km 1.5 and km 2.5, where the gradient is only 3 to 4%, use this respite to fuel up, drink and get your breath back without letting your cadence drop.
3. Finish strong. On the last stretch from 2.5 to 2.6 km at 4%, progressively step up the pace to finish hard, and save a bit in reserve for the final few hundred metres.
