By winning the 2019 Tour de France, Egan Bernal became the race's
youngest champion in 110 years, and the first from the South
American nation of Colombia. His victory brought decades of
national yearning to fruition. Colombia has long been the only
developing nation contending at cycling's highest level. Yet its
cycling sons are not the products of a rigorous sports system that
spots them in childhood and nurtures them through the ranks to the
pinnacle of globalised sport. They come from harder backgrounds,
that surprise, shock - even, at times, enchant. Colombia Es Pasion!
explores the lives and dreams of each of the nation's leading
cyclists. Theirs are inspiring stories of overcoming poverty and
violence, sickness and corruption, and achieving global sporting
glory. 'Takes you into the heart of both a sport and a country. The
journey is well worth the effort' Sunday Times 'Wonderful' Observer
'Remarkable, a masterpiece' Never Strays Far podcast
