Col de Neuland from Westhalten

At just 1.5km, Col de Neuland from Westhalten is short but deceptively intense — 108m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 7.4% disguises ramps of 16.9% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Alsace, France.
