Official Trailer for 'The Last Rider' Doc About the 1989 Tour de France

"Everything that I dreamed of was taken away when I was shot." Roadside has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled The Last Rider, from acclaimed doc filmmaker Alex Holmes. This premiered at the 2022 Telluride Film Festival last year, and is getting a proper release in theaters later in June. Timed with the start of this year's Tour de France, it's opening a few weeks before the race begins in July. The film tells a remarkable sports story. Greg LeMond, who in 1986 became the first non-European professional cyclist to win the Tour de France, recovered from a near-fatal shooting during an off-season hunting trip, to win the 1989 Tour de France in Paris on the Champs-Élysées in dramatic style, winning by only 8 seconds, the closest ever margin of victory. Directed by Alex Holmes and featuring exclusive interviews with LeMond and his wife Kathy as well as, never before seen footage, The Last Rider is an exhilarating portrait of one of the greatest athletes of our time. From the looks of it, we really should be idolizing LeMond and his passion. // Continue Reading ›
