Pacing tips:
1. Hold back from the start. Ride km 0.0 to 3.0, at 5-6%, at a steady tempo so you reach the foot of the steepest pitches with something left in the tank.
2. Make the most of the flat section from km 6.0 to km 7.0. This 2% stretch is your chance to recover, catch your breath and fuel up before the final push.
3. Manage the 17% finale. Over the last half-kilometre, pick a suitable gear, stay in the saddle if you can and keep a steady cadence all the way to the top.
