## Resource

With the Tour de France returning to the legendary Alpe d’Huez this year, we investigate whether modern tech and superhuman form will finally see Marco Pantani’s "unbreakable" record fall. We also dive into a massive week for tech, featuring a custom Pharrell Williams x Louis Vuitton Pinarello and Canyon’s revolutionary new motor with an internal gearbox. Plus, we cover incredible endurance feats and debate the impact of "motodoping" in professional time trials.
