2. Make the most of the recovery sections: The short descents (KM 5.0-5.5 and KM 6.0-6.5) are crucial. Ease off the pedals and recover before the final push.
3. Save something for the finale: The last half kilometer (KM 7.0-7.5) at 5% is brutal. Hit it with fresh legs by keeping your pace in check on the earlier sections.
