When the infamous blue and black jerseys of Team Sky burst onto the scene in 2010 it heralded a new cycling era; the decade to follow became the Sky years as they dominated the sport. Fuelled by vast sums of money, they placed a rider on top of the Tour de France podium six times in seven years. The team trumpeted a strict anti-doping policy, but it failed to shield them from suspicion.
How did Sky sweep away the competition? Has their influence changed the way pro teams operate today? We bring you first hand accounts from those who were there including Fran Millar, Rod Ellingworth, and Alex Dowsett. Also joining Dan Lloyd are former Team Sky star Nicolas Roche and cycling journalist Andy McGrath.
_Superteams: Team Sky_ is available to watch exclusively on GCN+ from Tuesday 6 June 2023.
