The 2.5 to 3.0 km stretch, at 23%, is the hardest part, followed by the 7.5 to 8.0 km block at 18%. Several sections between 14 and 16% punctuate the climb and gradually grind down the legs.

Tips for managing your effort:
1. Pace your start: the 0.0 to 0.5 km and 1.0 to 1.5 km sections, at 16%, tempt you to go out too hard; keep a steady cadence so you still have something in the tank when you hit the 23% ramp.
2. Recover on the descents: use the negative gradients from 4.0 to 4.5 km (-5%) and 6.0 to 6.5 km (-10%) to spin your legs, drink and take on food.
3. Plan for the final push: after the 18% section from 7.5 to 8.0 km, use the 8.5 to 9.7 km stretch, at 4-5%, to find a steady rhythm again and attack towards the finish.
