Well still, in the end, the point is that you had fun riding your bike no matter the price is.

Notice when Olllie was in the run-up to pass Alex, Ollie is spinning fast versus Alex was grinding running a higher gear it appeared. I’d be curious the comparison of gear ratios between the bikes and if Alex would have done better if he had been spinning too. Still epic performance from both. And the top of the hill seemed like quite a party. I’d love to attend one of these in person.

Awesome series and great content. 🎉

So yeah, as others commented, very curious the W/kg numbers.

I think one of the major tech stats for this series is "what was your lowest gear inches"? Yes you can ride up that hill (any hill) on any bike. Even a 40 year old Schwinn Varsity 10 speed (40 lbs) "if" you have the right gears! Noticed that Ollie's cadence was turning over faster than Alex. Was that by choice or limited by lack of having a lower gear inch to shift too? Alex recorded a higher Watt output because he had taller gear inch and had to use more power to turn the pedals. And how did that effect the last section with 20% gradient? For the next challenge Alex, change out that 34 tooth for a 1x 30 tooth crank. Don't worry about getting one too small as you have 10 speed cassette in back. Then compare the two efforts and see if a faster cadence gave you better results.
