TPRNo3: A Lost Dot Film

Though the premise of the Trans Pyrenees Race is the same year to year - to cross the Pyrenees mountain range from one side to another, and back again - no two races are the same, and each edition reveals a unique narrative of perseverance and adaptability. Each year, the story of traversing Pyreneean mountain scapes, rolling with the changeability of the climate, and moving through the distinct mountain cultures of these regions, paints a different picture for every rider who participates. This film captures the people, places, and strong spirit of the Pyrenees, and chronicles a bicycle race that is fortunate enough to pass through these powerful landscapes.
#TPRNo3
The Basque region is historic, mysterious, beautiful and rich with a culture all its own, and within it are a bounty of figures, Gods and mythological creatures which serve as an ongoing creative meditation throughout the film.
Filmed and Produced by Craig Bilham and Michael Drummond.

How beautifully put together. That woman cheering at the finnish really got me

[@janakesenheimer]

This film really nails what ultracycling is all about for me too, and it perfectly captures the feeling racing long distances gives me. I absolutely love it! Thank you! :)

beautiful film !! what a stunning voice over !

[@eaglephotographie2988]

Ça doit réveiller quelques douleurs 😢

[@tg8848]

Were the pushing sections mandatory or by choice of the riders? Where were they exactly? To me it looks somehow weird carrying a road bike over an alpine high mountain pass which is only singletrack…

[@LostDotRaces]

There are no mandatory off road sections in TPR but we present the opportunity to gain an advantage by taking a shorter off road route vs a longer tarmac route round. The riders hiking had carefully planned those sections of their race!

[@gendronflorent7467]

J'avais préparé mon itinéraire 100% route en voyant que les sections courte était du vrai alpinisme ! Beaucoup de coureurs ont porté le vélo ils ont tout mon respect pour avoir pris ces risques !

[@RonnyChopper-oz5jl]

And another one, again and again: the sense of life and why we suffer suffer.

[@BlackFlag111]

Congratulations to everyone.

A very nice film but the “one size fits all” colour grading detracts… By all means grade. But do it with finesse…
