violence
A reference is made to a person punching another during an altercation.
threat and horror
Cyclists are seen crashing and falling in some clips from historic races.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’) as well as use of milder terms such as ‘bitch’, ‘slut’, ‘asshole’, ‘piss’, ‘God’ and ‘hell’.
discrimination
There are references to historical sexism throughout, as women refer to discriminatory treatment they faced in the 1980s. Female cyclists are belittled, marginalised and dismissed by male interviewees in archive footage. All such discrimination is clearly condemned.
drugs
Athletes discuss rumours that a person used performance enhancing steroids, though such drug misuse is clearly criticised.
injury detail
Scenes include brief images of cyclists with minor injuries from crashes.
sexual violence and sexual threat
There is a passing reference to the '#MeToo' movement, though little explanatory detail is given.
