Le Martinet from Borne Orientale

At just 0.8km, Le Martinet from Borne Orientale is short but deceptively intense — 53m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 6.8%, the road kicks to 10.8% at its steepest — a testing gradient that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, France.
