World's Fittest Cyclist Vs Alpe d'Huez KOM

We take on the legendary Alpe d'Huez with three-time UCI Cycling Esports World Champion Jason Osborne to see if he can claim the ultimate Strava KOM. Riding the ultra-lightweight Colnago V5RS Dark Edition, Jason pushes his physical limits against the historic times of pro legends like Sepp Kuss and Marco Pantani. Watch as we battle the 21 hairpins, technical mishaps, and gruelling gradients in this epic attempt on cycling’s most famous mountain.
