Cycling Documentaries

I watched 'Lance' (Part 1) last night in iPlayer and found it very interesting. Today I watched 'Geraint Thomas: Let The Road Decide' (also iPlayer) and really enjoyed that too. Some time back I watched 'Icarus' and found that fascinating too... so I was wondering, what other cycling documentaries are there out there? (And how can they be watched)

Thanks. Trying to find 'Slaying the badger' as somewhere it says its on Netflix, but I can't find it, but it has suggested 'The Least Expected Day' about the 2018 Movistar team, so I guess I can add that one to the list.

Copied from another thread -

Time Trial (iPlayer) - 6/10

A documentary about David Millar, the cyclist. A little odd as clearly they're trying to be 'arty'. There's no narrator for example so I don't feel like I learnt much about David Millar himself and there are sometimes quite long shots of... odd things. I liked how 'real' it did make it feel though.

the blurry POV camera just made me motion sick

I forgot you said this, but yes, the bit where someone (Millar?) was cycling up that last bit of a stage, through the crowd, I had to look away as I felt sick after a while.
