Legend: Thomas Voeckler

Overview

Meet the man who enthralled a cycling nation during his two spells wearing the yellow jersey at the Tour de France. Thomas Voeckler was a plucky, attacking rider who took on the might of Lance Armstrong, Cadel Evans, and the Schleck brothers, and his exploits at ‘Le Grand Boucle’ have left a long legacy on French cycling; inspiring today’s generation of racers like Julian Alaphilippe. In this ‘Legends’ film, GCN en Français presenter Florian Chabbal spends time with Voeckler at his home in the Vendée region, as well as meeting the men who stood side by side with him during his two tilts at the ‘maillot jaune’.
