    Missing having any live cycling to watch, I have turned to YouTube to enjoy some past editions of races. There is a lot to watch, so any recommendations of classic editions of classics (or GT stages etc) to look out for – thinking of 1990s or later since many of these races are available.

    There’s a great behind-the-scenes documentary of Jumbo Visma’s win in the Vuelta last year on their site. Lots of in-car swearing, soigneurs, mechanicals etc.

    Chris Froome’s 80 mile solo to take over the lead of the Giro in 2018 (I think) gets my vote

    two things jump out the first

    two things jump out the first is the netflix series on Movistar well made and makes you see riders in a differing light, not sure landa comes out of it smelling of roses but well worth a view, as for races it has to be stage 9 of the Giro rosa last year two top riders battling out the last few kilometers just sheer guts and determination

    This profile of Phil Anderson’s bid for the 1983 TdF is a great film.

    ‘A Sunday in Hell’ and ‘Stars

    ‘A Sunday in Hell’ and ‘Stars and Watercarriers’ are proper films of classic races – both used to be on YouTube.
