Short but very steep cobblestone climb that immediately hits the legs full on. The surface and continuous gradient make for a tough start with no warm-up. Halfway through comes a sharp turn where it tightens up a bit more, after which you're quickly at the top. Mainly an explosive wall: short, intense and technical, but too little length for more than this grade.... read more

Korte maar erg steile kasseienklim die meteen vol op de benen slaat. De ondergrond en het continue stijgingspercentage zorgen voor een zware start zonder opwarming.

Halverwege komt een scherpe bocht waar het nog even extra aantrekt, waarna je snel boven bent. Vooral een explosieve muur: kort, intens en technisch, maar te weinig lengte voor meer dan dit cijfer.
