I thought it was almost completely flat until I saw the details of the OP.
Well yeah, but we cannot compare length to altitude. 14.5 km in length is nothing compare to that in altitude!bassano said:Escarabajo said:LOL.Tarnum said:

Yeah, but on the other side that profile have quite same scale on axis X as on axis Y so it looks like on real road
Here it is:tobydawq said:Tour of Croatia, stage 2, profile of last 3 kilometres. What the hell?
With two kilometres to go there is a little kicker, where the riders apparently ascend 120 metres and descend it again within 100 metres...
Inexplicable... (and I still don't know how to insert pictures)

That final climb looks like a fine competitor to Zoncolan or Angliru, until you realise that it's actually 11.5km at 5.4%.

Look at the km markers.Ricco' said:Well, that is acceptable, at least compared to the one of the second stage, where it looks like it is a killer queen stage but instead is a sprint stage.

Dunkirk.
I know it has the height of the climbs to the left but it's still misleading.
