In a run up to this year's Tour de France here (below) is a Netflix docuseries (airing June 8) from last year's epic edition of the race. Its by the same outfit that does Drive to Survive so it's going to show more about the behind the scenes drama than the actual race. I'm hoping they don't over do it because there was plenty of excitement and chaos during the stages, especially stages 11 and 18. 

-Wout van Aert going first for the yellow jersey, then for the green jersey (points jersey) in epic fashion. 
-Magnus Cort Nielsen hitting every KOM (king of the mountains) jersey points as the race started in his home country was also fun to watch. 
-Jonas Vingegaard having a bike issue and his much taller teammate giving Jonas his bike along with another bike switch until the team car could get him his own back-up bike. Complete chaos. 
-Tadej Pogacar and Vingegaard racing each other and Pogacar takes a corner a bit hot and slides on gravel, going down. Pogacar gets back on his bike and sees Vingegaard slowed down and waited for him. They do a "side-five" then get back to business. 

Fan favorite Tadej Pogacar and already assumed winner was just in a race crash and broke his wrist requiring surgery. Folks are freaking out that he might not be 100% for the Tour and it's supposed to be another epic battle between him and his team, UAE Team Emirates, and Vingegaard and his team Jumbo-Visma. I don't know how exciting this year's race will be but I'm ready for it.

Here's an article about it. 

The highly anticipated Netflix Tour de France documentary series will be released globally on June 8, race organiser ASO and the teams involved have confirmed.

The eight episodes follow eight teams at the 2022 Grand Boucle, capturing the emotions and suffering behind the scenes as they fight for overall success, stage victories or just to reach Paris. 

The episodes follow Jumbo-Visma of eventual winner Jonas Vingegaard, plus Ineos Grenadiers, Groupama-FDJ, EF Education-EasyPost, Alpecin-Fenix, Bora-Hansgrohe, and AG2R Citroën Team......
