2. Make the most of the downhill section at KM 2.0-2.5. Sit up for a moment, drink, and get your legs and breathing back before tackling the second half of the climb.
3. Manage the 7% finish. Build gradually through the 5% section (KM 3.0-3.5) so you reach the 7% of KM 3.5-4.0 with something left in the tank.
