Team Visma | Lease a Bike: Plans Rewritten
From the euphoria of the team time trial in Barcelona to the harsh reality of the crash: Team Visma | Lease a Bike’s new documentary about the 2026 Tour de France takes you behind the scenes of a race filled with ambition, setbacks and resilience.
The Tour de France started with big ambitions for Team Visma | Lease a Bike. With Jonas Vingegaard as team leader, the team travelled to France with one clear goal: to win the Tour. The documentary shows how the team prepared for that goal for months and how the first days of the Tour immediately brought confidence, energy and joy. With the victory in the team time trial in Barcelona, months of preparation reached their first major climax. In impressive fashion and according to plan, the team won the opening stage of the Tour de France.
But the Tour also has another side. In stage 15, the day that had been marked in red on the calendar for months, Jonas Vingegaard crashed. In an instant, everything changed. The documentary captures how the team dealt with that setback up close, how riders and staff had to regroup, and how ambitions changed when their team leader was forced to leave the Tour.
At the same time, the documentary tells several personal stories. We follow Bruno Armirail during a special Tour de France, as the Frenchman races through his home region. His personal connection to the area adds another dimension to the race, taking him literally through his own village, with a view of his own house.
But above all, Plans Rewritten offers a glimpse into places you normally never get to see. There is very little race footage; instead, the focus is on the moments that take place behind the scenes. Personal conversations on the team bus, during massages and at crucial moments in the race. Meetings where decisions are made, emotions that normally remain out of sight, and conversations between riders, team management and staff.
From the first victory and the dream of winning the Tour to Jonas’ crash and the team’s resilience, Plans Rewritten shows the Tour de France as you have rarely seen it before. Not by showing once again what happened on the road, but by taking you behind the scenes to see what was happening away from the race.
