Rapha Films Presents | Tour De Force 

The production value is amazing! Every video you guys put out feels like a movie

What a wonderful piece of film making! This hits so many right notes: the timely archive footage, wonderful cinematography, the stories shown and how they are told, the storytelling... Even with these aside there is something else: relevance and transcendence. This matters a lot in our times, and I bet any woman, or women's rights advocate would relate to the story, regardless of whether they cycle or not. Well done! I will share! 💚

Really enjoy hearing the back stories and seeing behind the scenes Womens cycling is so dynamic. The part with the father and his daughters was really special. That’s what it’s about. Great film ❤

So inspiring to see from the other side, the riders perspective. Was a great race to watch, some good hard racing

I enjoyed watching this and so pleased the Tour is back and giving women's cycling a higher profile. This was more of a stylistic film than a documentary though and at times confusing. In particular, it is not true that there hasn't been a women's Tour for 33 years. There have been various versions of the event from the 1990s through to 2013, and the fact that they may not have been organised by ASO should not diminish the achievements of the riders who won them. Nicole Cooke won the Grande Boucle Feminine in 2006 and 2007. She and riders such as Emma Pooley did a huge amount to raise the profile of women's cycling and campaign for more equal representation in the sport. I'd love to watch a film that documents the history accurately.

All the girls did incredible job. They really fought hard to be where they are now. Every single girl has an amazing, strong and courageous personality and inspiring background. Thank you for showing an example to the new generations of female athletes ❤️

Awesome! This racing was great to watch and this is amazing support for these women. Keep it up Rapha and keep smashing it ladies!

A very polished and well done piece. Great insights into one of my favorite riders-Veronica Ewers!

Great film, thanks for your continued support of women’s cycling. The team was fantastic.

Watched a bit of this with my 4 year old daughter. Thanks 😊 x

Inspirational & amazing! Why it took this long to get women to be part of Tour de France is just incredible!

Loved it! Congratulations on this great video! Please give us more women's cycling.

I would pay very dearly, like a fine Rapha article for the playlist on this doc, have not heard such a well executed ambient sound in a long time.

Great Story telling! Beautiful to see the dedication and heart.

This was a beautiful, striking account of this important event. Tough, awesome women. I loved how the young girls were in awe of these superheroes. 😀

Congratulations to these greats competitors !

Seeing the Bob Mortimer book instantly makes me a bigger fan.

This was great. To see it from a different point of view was really interesting. And the race was just awesome to watch. Every day was unpredictable which made it super exciting.

When i was thirteen the later female world champion raced with us boys and she didn’t look bad! It’s always nice to remember Ute Enzenauer. There are women that are superb bike racers with excellent bike handling skills 🤙😊

Magnifique Film, merci beaucoup 🙏

Thanks for making this! Really enjoying it :)

a lot of mens didint cares what womanes afford out of teh bed / box!!! thats sad it on a long/2slow way to change thank u for that amzing story !

More women's cycling stuff please!

Really inspiring story!

chapeau! very inspirational to watch

Wow. Just, wow. Bravo.

Love it, thank you!!

Fantastic film

thanks for the good things !!

Made my day!

Professional sport is about being the fastest, strongest, best. That's what people want to watch. That's what most people will pay to watch. Whether it's men or women doesn't matter. Amateur sport is available to all in the western world.

So inspiring!

gawdam, that was so inspiring. I'm gonna go ride my bike

Really inspiring

Fantastic!

Bravo!! 👏👏👏👏👏

Please inspire cyclists around the world with subtitles....pls.....

Who’s Le Idiote @1:00?

respect to the performance

Just epic.

Awesome!!

Amazing women cyclists!👍

Finger crossed for The Tour France Femmes, all in all the tour today is mostly paid by sponsors and, in order to exist, it needs to return the investment. I know it doesn't feel romantic but it is what it is … and it is (and always was) valid for men as well.

Is it Lael Wilcox on 40min?

Could this have subtitles added?

Plain and simple, I believe in EQUALITY. Meaning if you want to be equal to your male counterparts than you should be doing 20 stages versus an abbreviated version of 10 stages. I blame the girls in that they should fight for equality. I blame UCI treating the girls as secondary. I blame the team. Looking at the meeting it is like secondary to the males. What kind of van is that? Have you seen the buses the guys have? What kind of director is that? He is an amateur! Can you not communicate or talk tactics with the girls? Watching this film is like watching Division III or the minor leagues versus their males in Division I or the major leagues. Remember Joan Benoit won the first womans marathon in the LA Olympics. That was a turning point for womans sports. If you want to do the same than you need to request the same distance, the same buses and the same equipment, the same tactics, the same everything.

Excellent job including the unfiltered harsh and biased opinions over the years.

Let me get this straight. Before 2019 she didn’t know anything about cycling and a couple of years later she’s a professional cyclist??? How does that even happen?

I think I saw 2 minutes of cycling in a 42 minute video about cycling

I have not watched the Tour De France since high school because of several....Failures!! One of them being women not racing big tours! Goooo women!!!!

𝓟Ř𝔬𝓂𝔬𝐒ϻ 👌

please never include a scene with a gopro in a washing machine again. wtf

Is this a spoof video, do you mean women actually ride bikes ?????? Totally outrageous. 🤣

Lame, so many crashes and these crashes were horrible like women didn't know they have the brakes. One stage at the end one of the girls took left instead of right and almost crashes all peloton. The powers are not close to men's watts. The always smiling and talking girls...where is the Sport then? The willingness to win at any cost. I know many will hate the comment, but just acknowledge the differences and cycling at level of TDF - is not a women's sport, it's too harsh, too brutal. Some girls so fit it, but they are very rare

Amazing!
