The second episode captivates the viewers
While the first episode dabbles a bit after the action-packed opening scenes, the second episode should definitely captivate viewers.

Tour de France – Unchained: My comment
With the documentary series "Tour de France - Unchained" the makers address all cycling fans. But the numerous explanations at the beginning of the series should also cycling newcomers tie to the TV. These declarations – mainly presented by Ex-pro Steve Chainel – work for the experienced cycling fans something banal and almost disturbing. However, for those who want to get excited about cycling, they are of great importance. One could even almost say that there are too few explanations for newcomers.
Unfortunately, the series has - at least in the first five episodes - to blame itself for the fact that the profundity and magnificence of this sport CANNOT be understood at all by newcomers. For example, not a word is mentioned that there is a mountain jersey to win there, although one with Magnus Court just in 2022 had a multi-day carrier that could have been marketed perfectly. Unfortunately, the tactical aspect is also neglected. It's not the falls and the suffering that characterize cycling, but the emotions and the tactics. Each race features over 20 teams and each team has its own plan. This is almost unique in the sports world and would provide so much content. After all, they captured the deep emotions of the fans, the drivers and the numerous employees. These make viewers want to watch the next episode too – although definitely too many superlatives be used and often too much drama is interpreted into.
All in all, the series "Tour de France - Unchained" Recommended for both cycling fans and interested newcomers. Especially the shots from the main field inspire enthusiasm even among experienced cyclists. The Hustle and bustle within the peloton comes to the viewers on the home sofa. The driver suffering is almost noticeable thanks to the great pictures. And the Print, that the professionals are exposed to is understandable for everyone and almost unpleasant. Nevertheless, the makers must be aware that the Formula 1 documentary concept not one on one on the Cycling can be transferred. In the premier class of motorsport, there are only 20 drivers to accompany, a race lasts less than two hours and the sport as a whole is easy to understand for newcomers. There are significantly more people in the cycling circus, the races last five hours and the sport is - even if it may not appear so at first glance - much more complex and multifaceted. The documentary series “Tour de France – In the peloton” will hopefully be numerous attract new cycling fans can.
