Pacing tips:
1. Manage the start Hold back between km 0.0 and km 2.0. The moderate 2% to 3% gradients tempt you to go too hard, too early, but you need to save something for the steep section.
2. Prepare for the 7% section Shift to an easier gear before km 2.5 and keep a steady cadence and calm breathing through the whole 7% stretch, up to km 3.5.
3. Recover, then finish strong Use the 1% false flat from km 3.5 to km 4.5 to recover, then gradually build your effort back up all the way to the summit.
