Tour de France: Unchained

Netflix, from Thursday

Another of Netflix’s well-accessed and intimate sports series, this time going behind the scenes of the world’s most famous cycling race. Elite-level cyclists are famously volatile creatures and Le Tour is an ongoing accident waiting to happen, so this is visceral stuff. As ever, it’s brilliantly shot – camera crews were embedded with seven teams during the 2022 race so this is as close as you’ll ever get to being inside the peloton. And on the evidence of the physical and psychological agonies on display, it might be as close as you’ll want to.
