America's Lost Races: Why Every Major U.S. Cycling Tour Failed

For half a century, America tried to build its own Tour de France—and failed nine times. From Donald Trump's 1989 helicopter landings in Atlantic City to the Tour of California's economic impact, this documentary tells the complete story of American professional cycling's rise and fall. The Tour de Trump, Tour DuPont, Coors Classic, Tour of California, USA Pro Challenge, Tour of Utah, Tour de Georgia, Tour of Missouri, and Philadelphia Cycling Classic all featured world-class riders like Greg LeMond, Lance Armstrong, Peter Sagan, and Bernard Hinault, drew massive crowds, and generated millions in economic impact—yet every single one collapsed.
