What is the best Cycling Documentary?

[Twowheeledthompson]

Hello

I have recently watched The Armstrong lie and thought it was great! Does anyone else have any other cycling docs they would recommend?

I haven't watched that many but i enjoyed Pedal the World on Netflix. The fella went on to make another documentary (non-cycling) called Expedition Happiness which was a decent watch too.

i watched another on an amateur touring cyclist who met a girl in Iran and she starting joining him on his adventure, i can't remember the name of it though.

A Sunday in Hell, about the 1976 Paris - Roubaix. Brilliant insight into racing as it was then and a non sensational matter of fact narrator who could teach today's breed of sensationalising screamers a thing or two.

The Stars and the Water Carriers is another classic, but personally I found it a tad boring. A Sunday in Hell is excellent though.

I'd recommend this guy.... from Alaska to Argentina in about 5 years but this guy is not your standard touring cyclist.... the easy option is not what he is all about.

This is the first episode I think

Tour de Pharmacy...

Not "exactly" a documentary.... But well worth watching.

…"sensationalising screamers".....

Maximum respect!

Another vote for A Sunday in Hell. Quintessential viewing.

Battle Mountain is also excellent.

I don't think American Flyers counts

I see ads for Pantani - Accidental Death Of A Cyclist all over the place, is that any good?

Great footage, but not especially deep.

Not necessarily just cycling but the documentary Icarus is well worth a watch.

I enjoyed the one currently on iPlayer, Geraint Thomas: The Road Will Decide about his involvement and hopes for the 2019 Tour de France.
