Why isn't Saint-Pierre in Rodez categorized?
It is short (570 m) but steep (9.6% average) and deep into the day's ride (around 185km). Wouldn't that usually earn a category 4?

Do they ever categorize climbs <1km? Also, I thought categorized climbs always had KoM points, would they want to give KoM points for the finish of this stage?

I can't find an example, so maybe not.
The peak was about 50m from the finish, not at the finish -- but that is nitpicking. Regardless, giving it a cat 4 rating would've meant 1 KoM point to the first rider across. Not all that big of a deal either way.
They also could have categorized La Primaube (3km at 5%). In fact, that one may be the bigger surprise.
