Tune in for an in-depth look at the inner workings of the La Grande Boucle that you won\u2019t see on TV. Matt Stephens invited Yann Le Bourbouach, the producer of the hit series Tour de France: Unchained, as his next guest on the We Love Cycling Podcast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of June, the streaming platform Netflix released its new docuseries Tour de France: Unchained.<\/a> With a stellar rating of 8.3 on IMDb, the series obviously gained droves of dedicated fans who were enthralled by the oftentimes chaotic and drama-filled side of pro cycling. The eight-episode programme chronicles the journey of eight pro teams through the 2022 Tour de France with all their ups and downs.<\/p>\n

In Yann\u2019s words, the series mainly aimed to illuminate to a broader audience how the person on the Tour de France winner\u2019s podium is just a pinnacle of immense collective effort. To offer raw, real and unguarded moments the viewers rarely get to see and to offer a more humane and personal look at the riders and their backgrounds and motivations. In total, the first season took over three years to prepare and shoot and the final result truly shows the amount of care and diligence that went into it.<\/p>\n
