The toughest section comes between km 6.0 and km 7.0 at 13%, followed by a stretch at 8 to 9% between km 8.0 and km 10.0. The first kilometres, at a moderate gradient (4 to 7%), can be deceiving: use them mainly to settle into a steady rhythm before the hard part.
Pacing tips:
1. Start conservatively. On the 0.0-1.0 km section at 4%, settle into a steady cadence and save some energy for what's coming.
2. Prepare for the 13% ramp. Get into a low enough gear before km 6.0 and stay seated to keep your cadence smooth.
3. Manage the final part of the climb. Between km 8.0 and km 10.0 (8 to 9%), hold a steady effort and keep breathing under control, then use the 10.0-11.0 km section at 4% to push the pace back up.
