The Last Rider
The heroic true story of American cyclist Greg LeMond, considered to be one of the greatest cyclists of all time, who defied the odds for one of the most triumphant comeback stories in sporting history. The first, and only, American to win the Tour de France, LeMond came back from the brink of death to beat his famed rivals in the historic and nail-biting race at the 1989Â Tour de France.
Critic Reviews:
- " This insightful and inspiring documentary shines a deserving spotlight on LeMond and his accomplishments. " – Todd Jorgenson (Cinemalogue)
- " At the time of writing, LeMond remains the only American to ever win cycling's most prestigious race, but it's what he had to overcome outside of the sport that really grabs the attention. " – Danny Brogan (Common Sense Media)
- " Alex Holmes is a controlled and unflashy film-maker who knows how to get out of the way of his stories once he has set them in motion. Very recommended. " – Graeme Tuckett (Stuff.co.nz)
