Bordeaux-Paris was the best bike race you’ve never heard of: a midnight start, 550km-long, and ridden behind motorised ‘dernys’, with winners including Jacques Anquetil and Tom Simpson. More than thirty years since Bordeaux-Paris was last raced, pro cyclists Mitch Docker and Sam Bewley are aiming to recreate the infamous 1965 edition. How will they fare at the ‘Derby of the Road’?

Just watched it. Absolutely brilliant. Fun, entertaining and informative. Please bring Mitch back more often. He's a legend, and so watchable. Thanks

My dad was a huge Anquetil fan. He recently passed away and I watched this with him a few times in the care home. Interviews with Vin Denson and Mitch and Sam tackling this crazy adventure made it very special. Thanks to Simon Richardson too
