Arguably the greatest cycling race in history, the 1989 Tour De France saw Greg LeMond on the back foot, recovering from a freak injury, and locked in a physical and psychological battle with French two-time winner Laurent Fignon.
Alex Homes’ engrossing documentary shows not only the thrill of the race, but makes space for LeMond to share a deeply personal journey through trauma and the twists and turns of fame and perfomance amidst immense public pressures.
Getting to the heart of what makes the Tour so gripping, so gruelling and so unpredictable, The Last Rider replays one of the greatest comeback stories in sports history.
