Netflix documentary "will help all those new fans and more casual fans get to know us" - Recordings under way at Tour de France

Over the last few month it has a major step for cycling to be a part of a major deal with Netflix, who is having Box to Box Films produce an eight-part documentary at this year's Tour de France which is set to be released in early 2023.

The eight episodes will consist of 45 minutes, each about the eight teams that have been selected and accepted to be in the series: AG2R Citroën, Alpecin-Deceuninck, Bora - hansgrohe, EF Education-EasyPost, Groupama - FDJ, Ineos Grenadiers, Jumbo-Visma and QuickStep Alpha Vinyl Team. The filmings are taking place in the race, as several filming teams are keeping up with these squads in order to get the footage for the series.

ASO confirmed that there were 70 accreditations given to members of the production team, an amount adding to the Tour's massive journalistic and logistical presence which includes thousands of people moving daily to make sure the race goes through and gets reported as planned.

EF Education-EasyPost's Rigoberto Urán has commented on the filming crews in the race: “A lot of people follow me on social media from all over the world and I enjoy using social media to stay in touch with people and share my life and my racing with them. I think the Netflix documentary is the next step in all that. I think the Netflix documentary will help all those new fans and more casual fans get to know us and the sport much better. That can only be a good thing.”
