Le Ride (2016)

In the year 1928, an audaciously brave yet inadequately prepared team from the faraway lands of New Zealand and Australia dared to compete in what is globally recognized as the most grueling sporting event - the Tour de France. This quartet of courageous cyclists, dwarfed by teams twice their size, were written off as a laughing stock. Their bold endeavor was even deemed by a French journalist as tantamount to suicide. Out of 168 daring riders who embarked on a punishing 3,500-mile journey, a mere 41 reached the finish line. This extraordinary tale of triumph against all odds had remained untold on the cinematic screen, until now. Phil Keoghan, a renowned television personality, adventurer, and ardent cycling enthusiast, steps up to breathe life into this forgotten piece of history. In the spirit of the original race, he retraces the exact 1928 Tour de France route, adhering to the original schedule and braving the journey on a vintage bike. Alongside his team, Phil commits to an average of 150 miles a day for 22 relentless stages. Le Ride (2016) is a testament to human resilience and the unyielding spirit of underdogs, where history is not just retold but relived.

Le Ride is a documentary movie featuring Philip Keoghan and directed by Phil Keoghan.
