Sports Film Of The Week: The Ride

Two legends – Sean Kelly and Richard Virenque – drag two amateurs up two epic Tour de France climbs.

Title: The Ride

Release date: 2013

Plot: A funny choice this week but worth a watch, we think. This special four-part documentary series — commissioned to commemorate the 100th edition of The Tour de France — was produced by Eurosport with Oakley. And it only aired last week.

Two amateur cyclists attempt to conquer two iconic Tour de France stages of Mont Ventoux and Alpe-d’Huez with the help of our own Sean Kelly as well as Richard Virenque and this year’s yellow jersey favourite, Chris Froome.

Here are the first two bits:
