Synopsis:
In 1928 a small under-resourced, untested team from New Zealand and Australia lined up in Paris to ride in the toughest sporting event on earth, The Tour de France. 164 riders started, only 41 finished!
Phil Keoghan literally brought this remarkable underdog story back to life riding an original 1928 steel bicycle with no gears, retracing the exact route and sticking to the same schedule… an average of 150 miles a day, completely circumnavigating France in just 26 days!
