2. Spin a light gear on the steep sections. On KM 4.5-5.0 and KM 5.0-5.5, keep a steady cadence and stay seated to hold a constant power output.
3. Use the descents to recover. On KM 2.5-3.5 and KM 7.5-8.0, spin the legs easily and drink up, then ease back into it before the final stretch at a steady pace.
