Slaying the Badger: LeMond, Hinault and the Greatest Ever Tour de France
Heroes and villains, spectacle and controversy, mind games and endurance - this is the 1986 Tour de France.

Bernard Hinault, ‘The Badger’- aggressive, headstrong, five-time winner of the Tour. He has pledged his unwavering support to his team mate, LeMond.
The team is everything in cycling, so the world watches, stunned, as LeMond and Hinault’s explosive rivalry plays out over three high-octane weeks. Slaying the Badger relives the adrenaline and agony as LeMond battles to become the first American to win the Tour, with the Badger relentlessly on the attack.
