    Got it Ithink. San Pellegrino?

    Bingo! Yes, the San Pellegrino in Alpe in Northern Tuscany (not the Passo San Pellegrino, which to make things more confusing actually is in the Alps).
    Great climb, Italian Alps style-long/steep, with a nice kick at the end. Featured in the 2000 Giro, and hopefully soon again.

    Ouch. Looks stunning but the consistent 10% sections are very hard. One to add to the list.

    Didn't think it would be that long or high, surprised at th height with the amount of vegetation at the top.

    Not much to work on but closer to home and used on quite a few races!

    It's Wiggo and Froome - can't remember if they were at the front though. Not Holme Moss.

    OK, maybe not a guess the climb, as I can't quite remember which one it is, but check out this for a hairpin!
