Tips

Difficulty breakdown: At 11.2 km for 982 m of elevation gain and an average gradient of 8.8%, the Golo Benteng from Tengar is a relentless HC climb from start to finish. The toughest stretches are km 2.0-3.0 at 11% and, above all, km 5.0-6.0 at 12%, where the gradient is steepest on the whole climb. The sections at 4% between km 3.0-4.0 and km 8.0-9.0 are the only real chances to recover. The final push, at 6% over the last 200 metres, still demands a steady rhythm after the 8% of km 10.0-11.0.

Tips for managing your effort:

1. Pace yourself from the bottom Don't go too hard on the 9% and 10% ramps of km 0.0-1.0 and 1.0-2.0, so you still have something left in the tank for the 12% of km 5.0-6.0.

2. Make the most of the easier sections Use the 4% stretches between km 3.0-4.0 and km 8.0-9.0 to get your breath back, drink and fuel up, without losing your cadence.

3. Manage the finish with the right gear After the 8% of km 10.0-11.0, keep a comfortable gear so you can finish calmly over the last 200 metres at 6%.
