Just watched this after reading the book.
Great documentary and captured the contents of the book quite well.
Some of those pictures really capture the moment. Look in the eyes of Lemond after Hinault announces the tour is not over until the winner crosses the finish line.
As much as I felt for Lemond in the book you really get the history behind both these men and what stuck out is the desire to win. That's why they were among the best riders at the time.
We can look on and say about being fair but there is that desire for each of us to be the best. One does not give up that desire easily I'm sure.
Greg does come across as the gentleman though.
If you haven't seen it, well recommended on YouTube. It's interesting the show ends with Lance and the unbelievable statement about him by Lemond.
