Herstappelstraat from Lauw

At just 1.7km, Herstappelstraat from Lauw is short but deceptively intense — 38m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 2.2% disguises ramps of 5.3% — 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 Wallonia, Belgium.
