Netflix's Tour de France documentary Tour de France: Unchained is just a week away from its release with the eight-episode series launching on June 8.
The series will delve behind the scenes of last year's race just in time to whet the appetite for a rematch between Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) this July.
Star: Gerard Camy
While the UAE did not allow Netflix cameras inside their team bus, Jumbo-Visma did, meaning viewers will get unprecedented access to their victorious campaign. Ineos Grenadiers, Groupama-FDJ, EF Education-EasyPost, Alpecin-Deceuninck, Bora-Hansgrohe and AG2R Citroën will also present exclusive interviews, information and a new perspective on Tour racing.
Between them, the eight teams directly involved in the series won 11 of the 21 stages in last year's race. Spectators will be able to watch Jasper Philipsen's pair of sprint victories, Tom Pidcock's daring Galibier descent and Wout van Aert's triple win, as well as Vingegaard's ousting of Pogačar in the high mountains.
At the end of April, the trailer was officially released, showing short highlights from all eight episodes.
The trailer features Groupama-FDJ boss Marc Madiot telling his riders: "You are soldiers, you are warriors. When you put on a jersey, you become another person."
Also included are highlights from Pidcock's career, Thibaut Pinot's struggles, Arenberg's cobbled stage, bike footage, team manager reactions and various high-speed crashes.
Made by Quadbox, a joint venture between production companies Quad and Box to Box Films, Tour de France: Unchained will be shown in 190 territories around the world. In France, the series will be known as 'Tour de France: Au cœur du peloton' ('Inside the peloton').
