Alp D'Huez is the most famous road cycling climb in the world so when we were out filming some of the best road bikes, Cycling Weekly videographer Ed fancied a go at the famous pro cycling climb. He rode a gravel bike to a very respectable 1:07 up the alp but wondered if he could climb Alp D'Huez in under an hour...

In this video we make some bike upgrades to make Ed's faster at climbing hills and look for other ways in which to climb faster on the bike - Can he climb Alp D'Huez in under an hour?
