The profile has no truly steep section, but the 3% to 6% gradients over almost the entire route wear your legs down gradually. The toughest stretches are km 5.0-6.0 and km 10.0-11.0, both at 6%. Km 2.0-3.0, at just 2%, is the only real respite.

1. Manage the start. Tackle km 0.0-1.0 and km 1.0-2.0, both at 4%, at a steady pace to save something for later.
2. Prepare for km 5.0-6.0. Get through this 6% section with a smooth cadence and an easy gear, without mashing the pedals.
3. Save something for the finale. Pace yourself through km 8.0-9.0 and km 9.0-10.0 (5%) so you still have some energy left for km 10.0-11.0 (6%) and then km 11.0-12.0 (5%).
