The plan was perfect. The world's best amateur climber. A mind-bending 3.6kg superbike. One target: the Alpe d'Huez KOM. But this is Alpe d'Huez, a climb famous for creating legends and breaking dreams. When you push the limits of technology and human endurance this far, things rarely go to plan. This isn't just a record attempt; it's the story of one of the most unpredictable and chaotic challenges we've ever filmed. Join Ollie Bridgewood & Andrew Feather as they battle the mountain, the clock, and a series of unexpected events on his quest to make history. Will pure talent be enough to overcome the odds?
