Côte de Contoire from Trois Rivières

At just 0.9km, Côte de Contoire from Trois Rivières is short but deceptively intense — 53m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 5.8%, the road kicks to 8.9% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Picardie, France.
