Alpe d’Huez Ascent
The ‘Mythical Ascent’ of Alpe d’Huez is a true King of the Mountains Time Trial. The record stands at 38 minutes – Marco Pantani, please note that the exact times are questionable because since they first started recording official times they altered the starting point from the ’round-a-bout 700 metres before the start’ to the NOW OFFICIAL START which is marked on the road with road markings and the signpost. Secondly most of the pre 2010 times are tarnished by the ‘drug era’, but there are plenty of clean ride times around the 40 minute mark and so this is the benchmark for the very best in the world. So why not pit yourself against the very best!
