Côte du Rodier

At just 1.5km, Côte du Rodier is short but deceptively intense — 90m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 5.9% disguises ramps of 12.5% — 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 Auvergne, France.
