With no race on TV in the near the future, I’m looking for documentaries or movies about cycling or triathlon (old or recent). Any recommendation? So far, I’ve found Quest for Kona on YouTube and a documentary about the Movistar team on Netflix. Thanks, Clément. ---

> [@clementV](#): > > documentary about the Movistar team on Netflix Just added this to my queue yesterday - haven’t watched yet but came here to ask if anyone had seen it There used to be a Michelton Scott food/cycling doc on netflix that was very good - I assume its still there Also - backstage pass from Michelton Scott has a nice behind the scenes looks at lots of races over the past 3-4 years. If you haven’t seen those I’d recommend them. All on YouTube ---

I think it’s “Eat Race Win”. It’s on Amazon Prime. There are also some gravel documentaries - one on Belgian Waffle and a couple others that should pop up in the search ---

The Movistar documentary is excellent. Not just for the honesty of the riders but also the management. ---

Not cycling, but ultra-endurance running. See if you can find “The Barkley Marathons” - one of the most brutal sports documentaries I’ve ever watched. ---

Rapha have a whole slew of films with the Morton brothers. From memory their is a Labrador Highway one, a Route 66 one, one in east Asia. Plus the alternative season films for Dirty Kanza, GBDuro, 3Peaks etc… Think they are all on YouTube or Vimeo. ---

“Sunday in Hell” it’s a documentary about the 1976 edition of Paris-Roubaix. Should be floating around on youtube somewhere. ---
