Zijn tweeëntwintig was nog schoon

"Meyrueis, Lozère, June 26, 1977. Hot and overcast. I take my gear out of the car and put my bike together. Tourists and locals are watching from sidewalk cafés. Non-racers. The emptiness of those lives shocks me.'

Originally published in 1978, The Rider by Tim Krabbé is a modern-day classic that is recognised as one of the best books ever written about the sport. Laurens: “Every Dutch guy who’s a little into cycling knows the first five sentences of the book. This book deserved a tribute. And what better time to do so than this year, with the Tour de France finishing on Mont Aigoual.''

Enjoy the movie,
