Tips

Difficulty analysis: At 9.4 km, with an average gradient of 4.7% and 436 m of elevation gain, the Goč from Colići is a Category 1 climb, demanding but steady. The hardest sections are concentrated between km 5.5 and km 7.0, with gradients of 6%, 8% and then 9%, before a 7% finish from km 8.5 to 9.0. The flat sections at km 1.0-1.5 (1%) and km 8.0-8.5 (0%) are the only real breathers.

Pacing tips:

1. Don't go out too hard. The first kilometres (4% then 6% between km 0.0 and 1.0) tempt you to go off the front, but you need to save something for the second half.

2. Use the flats to recover. Take advantage of the km 1.0-1.5 section at 1% and the km 8.0-8.5 section at 0% to catch your breath, drink, and get your rhythm back without burning too much energy.

3. Manage your effort on the final part. After the 9% ramp at km 6.5-7.0, settle back into a steady tempo in the 2 to 3% zone (km 7.0-8.0), then tackle the 7% wall from km 8.5 to 9.0 with an appropriate gear.
