Col de Pinodieta from Espelette

At just 1.4km, Col de Pinodieta from Espelette is short but deceptively intense — 102m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. A sustained 7.1% average gradient with a maximum of 10.3% makes this a steady and demanding ascent. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Aquitaine, France.
