6.1W/kg for 36 minutes. That’s what Sepp Kuss did up Alpe d’Huez in the 2022 Tour de France to set the Strava KOM. But what would happen if we rode at that pace? How long can we keep up with the fastest cyclists in the world on an epic climb? Manon, Si, Conor, Hank and hill climb king Andrew Feather take on a virtual Sepp in an Alpe du Zwift challenge to find out!
