Join Bicycling for “Tour de France Confidential,” starring American cycling legends sharing inside-the-peloton stories on the rivalries, alliances and sub-plots at the world’s greatest race.
 
“TdF Confidential” will feature Chris Carmichael and Davis Phinney in an engaging discussion with ESPN cycling analyst John Eustice and an interactive Q&A session with the audience that brings to life legendary feuds, against-all-odds heroics and stunning meltdowns, the physical and mental rigors of racing 2,000 miles in three weeks and the Tour’s circus of off-the-bike diversions. It’s behind-the-scenes access typically reserved for racers and their closest confidants.
 
The evening will include a cocktail reception and autograph session at which guests may greet Mr. Carmichael and Mr. Phinney one-on-one and a raffle that will award a Specialized road bike and other prizes courtesy of Sid’s Bikes.
