Thanks for the reminder! Really enjoyed season 1

First episode at 1:42 -1:45, the guy (forget his name) is asked if he thinks Jonas V. is doping. His look was like yea.

Of course, the top GC contenders are doped to the gills. The title of the series should be changed to "Tour de France Undoped." I'm sure the irony would not be lost on many.

Funny and sad. Hope it's not true...then again. Comment to self, get real.

It could be like the F1 show and they're going to gin up doping rumors just for reality TV drama since it'll get people more engaged with the show.

Just saying... I'm like the last to give any Pro cyclists the benefit of the doubt on doping I guess but the TV industry makes Lance Armstrong look ethical.

I expect as with last huge PED. Once WADA figures out what the DeJour PED is we will find that it picked up where the last blood doping left off. Or same PED better maskers.

my dislike for jasper is confirmed

Not a fan of Netflix series. Like said above. They tend to push drama for ratings.

Well, it IS intended as entertainment, so.

Correct. It is not designed to follow the race. It is to show the behind the scenes drama. Slanting the truth where needed.

I look at Ben O’Connor very differently now!!!!

My recollection is that several “Drive To Survive” participants have complained publicly and loudly about their portrayal?

I also found the fake play by play narration - repackaged to suit the narrative of the episode, but presented so as to appear to be as-it-happened - to be annoying after awhile and “TDF: Unchained” fully indulged in this practice.

The production crew is French and the resulting biases perspective showed through loud and clear. It is Very French TV.
