Two favourites going head-to-head is an enthralling prospect in a Tour de France designed for climbers rather than sprinters
It was quite the wait, but Netflix finally brought out its Tour de France 2022 series Unchained in early June to a mixed reception. From my sofa, it was a fun if lightweight view, long on histrionics in the team car and short on hard analysis, which led to some glaring gaps that will grate with aficionados.
There is one lacuna, however, which is no fault of the producers: Tadej Pogacar barely appears, because his team did not participate in the series. In Shakespearean terms this is not so much staging Hamlet without the ghost as putting on Hamlet without the prince of Denmark.
