La Grosse Pierre from Maucourt

At just 1.3km, La Grosse Pierre from Maucourt is short but deceptively intense — 76m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 5.8%, the road kicks to 9.3% 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.
