On film Garmin-Slipstream's 2009 Tour de France campaign… watch bits here!

For British cycling fans, Garmin-Slipstream’s 2009 Tour de France campaign was memorable for the emergence of Bradley Wiggins as a genuine grand classification contender, as well as David Millar’s stirring, if ultimately doomed, breakaway on the stage into Barcelona.

And as it happens, award-winning director and self-confessed “crazy cycling fan” Nigel Dick was there to capture it all on film. The result is Tour de France: Day by Day, which is due to be released early next year, and the trailer is now available to help whet your appetite.

Dick, who states on his website that his ambition is “to ride l'Alpe d'Huez without getting off the bike,” is perhaps best known for his music videos – his credits include Wonderwall by Oasis, Guns ‘N’ Roses Sweet Child O’ Mine and Britney Spears’ Baby One More Time, among many others.

More recently, however, he has sought to combine his talents as a director with his love of cycling. His short film, A Millar’s Tale, charting the darker side of cycling through David Millar’s two-year suspension for using EPO, was an entry at the New York Bicycle Film Festival in 2008.

The same year, he followed the then Garmin-Chipotle team on their debut Tour de France for a documentary called Blood, Sweat and Gears that aired on the Sundance Channel in June this year.

The website for Tour de France Day by Day also has still pictures of the film’s production, as well as ten short films that will form part of the finished documentary, covering some of the key moments in the Tour – we’ve flagged up some of them below.
