• The €8 Million Netflix Disaster Cyclists Hated

  Netflix spent €8 million to bring cycling to a global audience — and got it completely wrong. In this episode, we unpack how Unchained misrepresented the Tour de France, damaged trust with riders, and failed to grasp the sport’s unique culture of silence, strategy, and sacrifice. From Wout van Aert’s “disturbing” portrayal to key moments cut from the final edit, we explore what happens when Hollywood storytelling clashes with cycling’s unwritten code. Only 8 of 22 teams agreed to return for Season 2 — a clear signal that something broke. This is more than a bad documentary. It’s a case study in how not to tell a story — and a reminder of what makes this sport sacred.Surfshark - Online security starts with a VPN and I trust Surfshark.
