Directed by Alex Holmes
From Bafta-nominated filmmaker Alex Holmes (Maiden) The Last Rider is an edge-of-your-seat story of the greatest cycle race in history, the 1989 Tour De France.
Greg LeMond is the only male US cyclist to win the Tour De France and is considered by many to be the greatest American cyclist and one of the all-time greats of recent history. Holmes recounts how LeMond overcame trauma and near-death to win the 1989 race and stage one of the most inspiring comebacks in sporting history.
