In the summer of 2024, Mark Cavendish rode into Saint-Vulbas and claimed a number that had belonged to two men — and now belongs to one.

Astana Qazaqstan's documentary 'Project 35' offers the world a rare look behind the spectacle of sport: the invisible labor, the collective sacrifice, and the quiet architecture of a historic moment.
