In 1989 Donald Trump put his name to a cycle race hoped would rival the Tour de France. This is the story behind the Tour de Trump.

We hear what it was like to share the podium with Trump from the winner of the first race Dag Otto Lauritzen. Go behind the scenes with race organiser Mike Plant and hear about the legacy the race left from Peter Nye author of Hearts of Lions: The History of American Bicycle Racing... and why the race no longer takes place.
