It’s cold and snowy outside, and that means many of us are spending more time on the trainer. If you’re pedaling away indoors for hours, turn on one of these cycling movies, races or videos to stay motivated.
Grinta (featuring our own Eros Poli)
While you can’t stream Grinta! anywhere online yet, we had to share the trailer of the movie that celebrates our guide Eros Poli’s incredible Tour de France victory at Mont Ventoux. It’s been a hit at film festivals and at screening in 2025 and the tour continues in 2026, so keep an eye out to see if it’s being shown near you. (Learn more here… or join Eros as he leads inGamba riders during our Milan-San Remo trip and get the story directly from him!)
Tour de France: Unchained
If you loved Drive to Survive or you secretly revel in reality TV, you’ll love Unchained, Netflix’s three-season documentary show that takes you behind the scenes at the Tour de France. While it may not be as juicy as a Real Housewives season, the videographers do a great job capturing real reactions, real racing and real drama during the 2022, 2023 and 2024 iterations of the Tour de France.

Team Visma | Lease a Bike’s “Here to Win” Documentary
When a team makes a documentary about a race, you know it’s going to be a mix of incredible behind-the-scenes footage that you’d never see otherwise, because the team won’t give that kind of access to a videographer they can’t control. It also means a storyline that is dictated by the team, but in Visma – Lease a Bike’s case, the Here to Win hour-long documentary manages to avoid feeling like an advertisement for the team, and feels like a truly honest look at a team struggling to make a comeback in the Vuelta a España, amid plenty of team tension as well as drama with the race itself due to protests.
FDJ-Suez’s Chasing Yellow
This year’s Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift was hotly contested—FDJ-Suez’s Demi Vollering was poised to be the rider to beat, until Pauline Ferrand Prevot came on the scene. And in Vollering’s team’s documentary about the race, you get to see the raw behind-the-scenes look at what it means to be the rider expected to win, and coming up short. But it’s not just her story, the doc follows the whole team, and helps us get to know the riders that we love to watch.
GCN’s Bikepacking The Silk Road | Crossing The Roof Of The World
Doing a long endurance ride on the trainer? This documentary will make your three hour ride feel short, since it’s covering the trek across The Silk Road—a roughly 1200 kilometer trek across the Pamir Highway, the second-highest international road on the planet. It’s a breathtaking video, and really puts your ride into perspective—and possibly gives you the thirst for an adventure of your own.
Any cyclocross race
For hard interval rides or when you’re doing a shorter spin, coverage of a long road race simply won’t do. But 45 to 60 minutes of all-out racing drama? That makes a workout go by in a flash, and that’s why we love streaming cyclocross. FloBikes is the best spot to watch if you’re in North America, and the World Cup races are full of familiar faces for fans of road racing, since Mathieu Van der Poel is not just a phenom on the road, he’s the master of mud as well. Cyclocross, for new cycling fans, combines mountain biking and road racing on a 2-3 kilometer course that’s primarily dirt and grass track and hundreds of obstacles ranging from tight corners to off-camber sections to mudpits to barriers that force riders to dismount and run over them. It’s heart-pounding, all-out excitement, and not to be missed.
