Synopsis
Everyone knows Raymond Poulidor. The popularity of this cyclist far exceeds his record. For 15 years, he participated in the Tour de France without ever winning the race or donning the yellow jersey. However, he finished on the podium eight times. This is where his reputation as the eternal second was born. But Poulidor is above all an endearing champion, appreciated for his charm, his Limousin accent, and his discretion. If everything conspired to prevent him from winning: twists of fate, stifling rivalry with Jacques Anquetil, or the appearance of the terrible Eddy Merckx, he remains one of the most well-known and beloved cyclists.
