Olimpia from Squarzolo

At just 1.6km, Olimpia from Squarzolo is short but deceptively intense — 109m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. The average gradient of 6.8% disguises ramps of 13.8% — 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 Piedmont, Italy.
