Tips

Difficulty analysis: The Golgota is a short but demanding climb, with 177 m of elevation gain over 2.9 km at an average gradient of 6%. Most of the effort is concentrated in the first third, with the KM 0.5-1.0 section at 13%, preceded and followed by sustained gradients (6% then 8%). The second half, with KM 1.5-2.0 at 3%, KM 2.0-2.5 at 4% and KM 2.5-2.9 at 2%, offers welcome breathers to recover before the finish.

Tips for the effort:

1. Pace yourself from the bottom: don't go out too hard over the first 500 metres at 6%, so you reach the 13% ramp (KM 0.5-1.0) with something left in the tank.

2. Prepare for the 13% section: shift to an easier gear before KM 0.5-1.0, stay in the saddle and keep a smooth, relaxed cadence to control your rhythm.

3. Recover on the rolling section: use the 3%, 4% and 2% sections (KM 1.5-2.9) to pick the pace back up gradually and manage your effort all the way to the top.
