Anybody?
This sounds like it should serve as a model for Touroica!

Whatever happened to the movie 'Major' about Marshall Taylor? Completed or released, affiliated with the making of 'Cyclone'??

Edit: Add to the inquiry Major Taylor: Relentless

"Get your 'act' together big bux Hollywood!"

C'mon Kevin Costner of American Flyers and Hidden Figures. Huge box office success and inspirational to millions.

What too much coffee can do to you. I can't believe those guys didn't end up as grease spots.
Really well shot.

Not really about cycling, but Icarus on Netflix. What was supposed to be about Lance and doping in cycling revealed an international sporting scandal when Russia was found to tamper their athletes' urine sample in the past olympics. This was the documantary that lead to thier 4 years ban on all games.

The Graeme Obree biopic, The Flying Scotsman (2006), is on Showtime this month. Good flick.

The 1955 award winning Spanish film, Death of a Cyclist, is on TCM (on demand) this month. More a tale of doomed lovers, but worth a peek if you're into classic foreign films.

I found "Le Ride" on Amazon Prime, and really enjoyed it.
