There are a lot of superlatives at the start of Tour de France: Unchained. The Tour de France is "the biggest bike race in the world", it's a "massive circus", it's the "toughest", "it’s an event that touches everyone".
It is easy to worry at this point that the new Netflix documentary has built up the bike race too much. Sure, it doesn't get much bigger than the Tour, but how do you represent this in a way which is not overblown, or makes the race seem ridiculous?
