Pace your energy carefully here. It's better to let someone overtake you at a crawl, but then take the steep ramp just before the Enning Alm in one go (because you're not driving at a speed bump). Some overtakers will be caught and overtaken again here ;-) Tactical riding is called for here. Except: All those who are at their best and don't care: cool, guys and girls, step on the gas!
