User Review - 10/10 by matt ggreat insight into the worlds toughest sporting event
User Review - 10/10 by Joe MAwesome fly-on-the-wall documentary of a pro cycling team during the Tour. Nothing escapes the camera. A real eye opener. Well worth a watch.
User Review - 10/10 by Private Uthe ultimate view into what the sport of cycling is at heart, a struggle against yourself
User Review - 10/10 by Daryl NThis is by far the most moving cycling documentary that I have seen. And the way it is shot only adds to the film.
User Review - 8/10 by Jonny BExcellent documentary, even if you're not a fan of the sport of cycling (which most North Americans are not) Shows you that there's so much more to the sport then pedalling the bike
User Review - 8/10 by Julio CThis is a very well done film on a professional cycling team - Team CSC - just as it was maturing and before it catapulted into the limelight to become the best pro team in the world for three consecutive years. Led by a former Tour de France winner, Denmark's Bjarne Riis, we see the ascension of Ivan Basso as nemesis to Lance Armstrong; and a younger enfant terrible Carlos Sastre, who accepts his role as super domestique but rebels agains Riis' training methods. With CSC leaving the sport of cycling as sponsor, Team CSC proper ended at the end of last year. With a new Danish sponsor, Saxo Bank, the team continues today as Team Saxo Bank. The team achieved last year what had been sought since its creation in 2003: winning Le Tour de France.
User Review - 8/10 by Steven SA good enough cycling flick, this lacks a decent narrative that could have made it a crossover film, rather than just for bike fans!
User Review - 6/10 by Matt CThis is a strange documentary, it's like cycling brought to you by Oliver Stone in his 'Natural Born Killers' phase. The screen is cluttered with jump cuts, text flashing across and constant shifts in tone as if Gislason suffers from ADHD. Perhaps that's a fitting approach for the EPO era especially a team that Tyler Hamilton has recently exposed as every bit as organised in their doping as US Postal. It's still interesting though, and Bjarne Riis in particular is a fascinating character. Watching with the benfit of hindsight the ghost of EPO does loom large and even more so the control that Armstrong had over the peloton is phenomenal.
