2. Making the most of the flats: use the false flat from km 2.5 to km 3.5 to drink, fuel up and get your cadence back without burning energy needlessly.
3. Dosing your effort on the steep bits: on the 9% section between km 1.0 and km 2.0, stay seated, keep a smooth cadence and save something for the last part of the col.
