La Course en Tête. 1974.
"La Course en Tête" (translated as "Head of the Field" or "In the Lead") is considered by many cycling aficionados to be the greatest documentary on the sport. Directed by Joël Santoni, the film chronicles the triumphs of Belgian cyclist Eddy Merckx, the winner of eleven Grand Tours, three World Championships, and many other awards. His defense strategy was to constantly attack his opponents, and thus the film's title became an apt descriptor of his tactics. And while the film reveals the personal and professional nuances of the champion's life and career, the designer of this idyllic scene remains unknown.
