Saint-Flour via Avenue Léon Belard

At just 1.6km, Saint-Flour via Avenue Léon Belard is short but deceptively intense — 84m of elevation packed into a brief, breathless effort. Averaging 5.2%, the road kicks to 9% at its steepest — a notable steepening that demands respect. It's over before the legs know what happened — a short, explosive effort where momentum is everything. Located in Auvergne, France.
