Les Pierrots from Sainte-Geneviève

At just 1km, Les Pierrots from Sainte-Geneviève is short but deceptively intense — 60m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 6% 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 Picardie, France.
