1. Save your legs at the start On the km 0.0-0.5 (3%) and km 0.5-1.0 (4%) sections, keep a steady cadence so you don't burn through your reserves for no reason.
2. Manage the 8% section Between km 2.0 and 3.5, stay seated and pick a gear that lets you hold a smooth, steady cadence.
3. Keep some in the tank for the end Approach the km 3.5-4.0 section at 9% with caution, then hold your effort all the way to the summit despite the gradient still at 7% over km 4.0-4.5.
