The Race for the Yellow Jersey
“The Race for the Yellow Jersey” is an exceptionally well-done documentary from 1971 by Tom Spain about five riders from the Century Road Club of America guided by Fred Kuhn of Kopp’s Cycle in Princeton, New Jersey, training and racing in Canada. While it shares a name with the famous Tour de France prize, this film specifically chronicles a 365-mile bicycle race, the Tour Cycliste de L’Est, a demanding stage race through the highways and mountains of Quebec. It is rich with vintage race footage and rider interviews. Narrated by Jean Shepherd.
