Seeing someone struggle hard to get up the Alpe, yet, never quit while doing it is actually very inspirational. I hope you are still riding and still improving. Keep it up
-
I was a level 6 & just finished it last night. Took me forever :( I finished at 3:09:39. Took me forever. I felt like quitting cause I was extremely discouraged cause of how low my speed was (especially when a jogger passed me 😂) but I’m glad I never quit. Was definitely one of the toughest rides I’ve ever done
-
That was one of the most inspirational video I’ve seen. Mind over matter. You, Sir, are a badass! Keep up the great work!
-
It does not matter if you said it was a slow time. The fact that you completed it is amazing! Next target is just to beat your time. Keep it up!
-
Probably one of the most honest videos I’ve seen on YouTube. Being a skinny fell, I thought everyone just breezed their way up the Alp. To see the huge huge effort you put into that ride should inspire anyone. I take my hat off to you👏👏👏
-
I've watched a ridiculous amount of cycling related videos on YouTube at this stage and this was genuinely one of the most inspirational. Brilliant mate.
-
That was an incredible effort, well done. This has been the best Zwift video I have seen on here because it isn't posted by some semi-pro smashing out 400+ watts for the 1 hour necessary to tackle this monster. I have just started on Zwift and am on the larger side too, as well as being 54 which doesn't help. I aim to try this climb once I have some fitness back. Wish me luck. Once again, well done.

Well done, Matt! :D It's a hard climb on smart trainer and in real life. You did well :)
-
I did it yesterday. I'm only at level 8 so I entered a race. It took me 1:53 to get up there. 225 out of 299 place, which I was very satisfied with. For the D level riders it is a true test of mental toughness. Of the 299 who started, 74 DNF. I'm going to train for a month before I try it again and then I'll enter another race. The race was good because you're kind of all in it together.
-
Well done fella, great to see you battle through it. That climb is such a mental battle battle as well as physical. When I get to marker 5 my body is screaming to stop but I've gone too far to just walk away.
-
I just did this today, as I purchased my first smart trainer earlier this week. I love your vid - chapeau for making it up! It was tough!
-
Amazing video, so inspirational for a lot of us normal people that ride =-) Well done for the achievement fully deserved mate.
-
That was an absolutely heroic effort! Was willing you along the whole way. Good job! Could see how much it hurt but you kept grinding, a lot of respect for that!
-
Such a cracking effort mate, super impressed that you didn’t give up 👍
-
Nice one, you've inspired me to have a go. Amazing how quiet the roads are pre covid!
-
You my friend are the definition of 'don't give up'. Well done buddy. Huge respect to you. Keep it up.
-
The best climb I've seen in Alpe! Congratulations Matt!!! 💪🏼💪🏼

Zwift have made this route 3 on the 2021 tour. I came for a quick look to see how bad it is as I though I couldn’t do it. You have now motivated me 100% with your determination. 10/10.

Incredible effort. Well done pal, so happy you pushed to the top 🙌🏻
