Summary

Welcome to the 8th and final day of our Haute Route Alps coverage as Matt and the Drunken Donkeys cross the finish line in Megève.

Matt gives us a look at the team’s last day of riding as the 7-day journey comes to a close.

With one last 148km push through the Haute-Savoie, Matt and the gang make their way through the Col de l’Epine, Col de la Croix Fry, and Col des Aravis.

We hear from the team after the day's climb, and Matt looks at what's to come as we round off our coverage of the Haute Route Alps.
