1992: Following El Diablo

In this documentary, Mitch Docker sets out from Saint Gervais to replicate Claudio Chiappucci's iconic ride through the Alps. The film details the demanding 250-kilometer route that features over 7,000 meters of elevation gain across five treacherous Alpine mountains. Docker faces extreme conditions, including the sweltering heat of the French summer, as he pushes himself to his limits.

To honor Chiappucci's achievement, Docker rides a replica of the '92 Carrera bike, equipped with a heavy steel frame, down tube shifters, and rim brakes. This choice highlights the challenges faced by cyclists of that era and adds a layer of authenticity to the journey. The documentary is a tribute to cycling history and the spirit of endurance, making it a compelling watch for cycling enthusiasts and documentary fans alike.
