Episode 1 Six Dutch celebrities, together with a friend or family member, embark on a breathtaking cycling adventure through southern India. In four grueling stages, the duos make their way through the hectic, colorful, and chaotic Indian traffic. Honking cars can be heard everywhere, screeching tuk-tuks race past, and the sun beats down mercilessly on their backs. Every kilometer becomes a battle against the elements, the traffic, and themselves. It is a race full of tension and excitement, but speed is not the only factor determining the outcome – endurance, teamwork, and perseverance are at least as crucial. |
